Allright all you smart arse's I know I am a local and I know this area well but its time for you guys to school me on some good camp spots above the jardine because my knowledge is limited above the river??
I know virlia is a must but there has to be some more spots that aren't as well known up there that are worth a look I am taking from the 15th to the 22 of and would like some real nice spots to camp I don't mind some rough tracks....
bring on the cape.....

Geoff,
Hope you messaged him some spots without trees.
He'll just drive into them otherwise.
Bit like Campdog and water-crossings. They just don't go together.

Its a hard live isnt it mate I was actually got stuck up in bamaga for 2 days due to my trailer blowing a set of springs and axles boy did andy look after me though I broke the trailer at virylia and had him there in under 2 hrs back to bamaga and prioity air-bagged up the parts and had me back on the road in under 24hrs bloody legend I reckon.... first time I met the bloke to he is a top fella.
I had a good look around up there I didn't go to usher point or mutee heads though I have to leave something for next time... the rest was nice I would have loved to found so locals spots the rest seemed a bit commercial to many people around for my liking....

I find Andy provides really good service but his labour rate is something to be desired. Thats what you have to expect living temote though as everything costs an arm and a leg just to get here.

Yeah I know what you are saying.. 120 an hour wasn't it o well he did give me great service..
Sorry nedly I didn't have the old camera out at the time so I don't have any photos I am really slack when it comes to that sort of stuff and we don't want a photographic record of the cruiser getting stuck... now do we...

There is a 2 places actually. Both places tourists dont know about but is frequented by locals and is north of the Jardine. One place is in the photo with Stacky holding a barra up and another only a few km's away.
