Chili Beach...Pass the Coconuts, Love! (7th June)
Another easy day after leaving Archer River, a few long creek crossings and some more challenging terrain makes for a good day.
One of the new additions to our team, Mick lost his camera bag, which also contained $500 cash after falling off in one of the creek crossings. He headed back to find it after realising he'd left it on his rear mudguard to dry it out earlier. The poor guy never found it and did over two hours of backtracking for nothing before joining us at camp.
Lockhart River, an Aboriginal community provided an opportunity to resupply before heading to Chili Beach.
Out of curiosity we checked out Palmer Roads, a tiny fishing village, I think, there was a catamaran sailing around and a few fishing boats. A lovely spot!
Before camp a few of us had a bit of a burn up the beach and took some photos and video footage. The location also had phone reception on CDMA, so I borrowed Scott's phone and gave Mum a call to wish her a happy birthday. A great opportunity as phone reception has been basically nil around these parts, as expected I guess.
Chili Beach was spectacular, with coconut palm lined shores and some nice islands in the distance. The place is a little tainted by all the plastic bottles dumped by ships in international waters that are washed ashore by currents in the area.
