Chilli Beach and a taste of 4 wheel adventure

Even though there was no available camping sites for us at Chilli Beach we went and had a look anyway. It reminded me of the beach at Kimadan PNG.



Managed to find a spot to camp in the rain forest nearby. Learnt that, because of the shape of our tent, if zips are not done up and it rains the rain gets inside, makes puddles on the tent floor and in general wets everything.

Had a puncture - actually noticed that the tyre was a little flat when we pulled in for the night and by morning it was dead flat. So first job for Brandt (while I mopped out the tent) was to change the tyre.


Heard about a 4 wheel track back to the Development Road so decided we'd have a look and see what it was like. (took 4 hours to drive 41km but well worth it).


Picturesque countryside and plenty to challenge the driver both on land








and across water








Eventually met up with the Development Road again



and made our way past Bramwell Junction, on our way to Palm Creek


The ant hills were quite a land mark.
