On to Cardwell for the night. Stopped at my fav caravan park just a bit out of town on the north side. Its quiet and never very busy. You get what you pay for here, lush grass, shade and hot showers. No jumping pillow, swimming pool or kids playground. Only one rule "Don't swim in the creek". Crocs.
In a corner of the park are two graves of children who died at 2 years and one at 5 weeks. Sad but not uncommon back then in 1871.
Up behind Cardwell less than 10km is a really good lookout. A great view of the town and the islands. Well worth the drive and the 800m hike.
