An epic day!

After a dawn start John and David navigated 70km of sandy tracks before arriving at the Old Telegraph Crossing on the Jardine River. Along the way we visited the spectacular Elliot Falls and had a swim at Twin Falls. There were many creeks to navigate, all crystal clear, wadeable and croc free!! The Jardine required an 80 metre crossing …. and swimming the fast flowing waters at the site of a croc attack is definitely not recommended! With our support crew dealing with the trailer fire we relied on the Hendersons who willingly unloaded their “tinny” and ferried us across. When we did meet up with our crew, not surprisingly they were a little dejected.  We all agreed that as everyone was safe and the kayaks were unharmed we would continue on the 51 km to Seisa. A few calls and a visit to the local shops and we were back on track. John Charlton the skipper of our kayak support boat made us welcome and offered up his place for us all to stay. The steak burger at The Seisia Fishing Club is highly recommended!
