From our camp at Sams Crossing we intended heading north on the Bamaga Bypass Road, over the Jardine Ferry and on to Punsand Bay. Total distance was only 113km, but again our navigation app was suggesting over 9 hours travelling. In the end we made it by lunch time - including breaks!
The rough plan - It took us three hours, not nine!
The Jardine Ferry cost $145 for the return journey - but includes all permits for the lands on 'The Tip'. It is a short crossing - and the river is reportedly full of crocodiles, but we didn't see any.
