I camped there 2016. A lady in a van with her husband was a little too friendly. Husband wore little loin cloth in leopard print (odd right?) Took me while to work out the were swingers...
@@CaravanAdventureAus my husband and I were doing our first trip up north in our camper trailer. The caravan park was empty except for them. I found her odd she was too weirdly friendly, like she was out looking for people. Creepy!!
Great vid, Being Townsville local, we live just out of town on a large block, pool, out side bar etc. More than welcome to join us Christmas Day . Just a chilled small gathering. We have two chilled dogs and Juice can have some play mates. Offer is there.
@@CaravanAdventureAus no worries, just offering, good company, good food and lots of laughs. Also daughter, son in law ( sparky) you would feel out of place. It’s Christmas and very casual 😁
Hi Bryce&Chelsea, such a good, care-free life you live. And always smiling. Chelsea misses out now that Juice can sit and get pats from his Dad. See you in Vic when you make it this way again. Cheers mates, Alllan & Jaya
Yes I've swam at Horseshoe Bay may times before. Guessing there are no large rivers near Bowen, only the Don River which is more of a creek so less croc risk. Airlie Beach is near the Proserpine River which has the most crocs on the east coast. Merry Christmas 🎅
Hi Bryce and Chelsea A very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to both of you. Thankyou for a great years worth of videos following you on your journey, very enjoyable indeed. Have a awesome Christmas and stay safe. Cheers Peter
Swam there many times. Never seen a croc. Locals swim there. The restaurant at the resort is pretty good. You should go down to the harbour and get some prawns and fish and chips. Really good.
@@CaravanAdventureAus yes when I saw your clip of you at horseshoe Bay I recall my friend on a kayak waving madly at me on sand, a huge shark was trying to tip him off the kayak. He was terrified. That was 1983. I grew up loving the water. But sense to be very careful now esp QLD.
Enjoy your Xmas, and thanks for some great viewing🌲Will keep my eye out for a neck-brace for Bryce, small one😆(in the meantime Chels, put your feet up🍻🥂)
Cairns is good now, all but the three beachside suburbs that copped a beating. You won't be able to get up to Port Douglas via the coast road for another few weeks, but beyond Cairns you can go up the Kuranda Range. Hope to see you here in gorgeous Cairns (33C and sunny skies today).
those mats sound great - but try folding them up - with wet sand on them. overnight rain you've got to be on the road early and you've got 4 cubic metres of heavy wet mesh to pack...it wont dry out in time to get on the road. you cant broom wet sand off. they are great for long stay. but if you're packing up and down big no for packing up issues.
Tip, you fishing with single bait. But there could be no other food. So, barley up. Chicken pellets or cat food minced up dinner scraps. It drifts out further out saying food here
Salt water crocodiles very rarely venture out to sea as they prefer muddy water for hunting. Crocodiles are also territorial animals that will generally never venture more than a few kilometres from their home. I am no croc expert but it seems by doing some research the main breeding site for crocs is north at the Burdekin river, it doesn't mean they are not at Bowen, just very rare to see them there. There was a freshwater crocodile captured at Bowen showgrounds in May 2022, but they are not an aggressive species of crocodile.
Come on you guy's, no self-respecting croc will swim there and didn't need to worry about Great Keppel we swim there all the time, seems the further south you originate from the more you worry. Now Grover Creek is a different story,we were there July and August, 1 Klm downstream past the corner a big croc suns himself on the mud, remember you don't need to be able to run fast away from a croc, just faster than the person with you. Have a great Christmas
Thanks so much for the info 🥵 yes heard there was some crocs around. We made sure to stay well away from the water. Haha that’s a good one 🤣 reckon I can run faster than Bryce. Hope so haha
its great to see you found Groper Creek. Our little bit of paradise.... So good we bought a home here...The managers of the park, Wendy and Jeanette would of looked after you..... I have seen 1meter long barra caught from your camp site.... You never known your luck, if we were putting our tinny in, we would of taken you for a run... just ask the ladies they would of found a local to take you out...
Great snorkeling at Horseshoe Bay, very safe. We absolutely love Bowen.

Thanks for the info 🫶🏼 all makes sense. I guess it’s always good to be croc wise but fairly safe at places like Bowen 👍🏽😃
I’ve seen a few in the ocean. Will always check for a while before I go for a swim in those croc possible areas
Merry 🎄 Christmas and Happy New Year. Hope you keep grinding out the videos❤
Yes we sure will! 🫶🏼
Merry Christmas guys have a wonderful safe time
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you aswell 🎄

It’s a very ‘liveable’ place 😍
Did you go to Cungulla? Just before Townsville.
Hey, Nar I don’t think we did 🤔
@@CaravanAdventureAus I found it by accident looks like a area of beach houses.
its great to see you found Groper Creek. Our little bit of paradise.... So good we bought a home here...The managers of the park, Wendy and Jeanette would of looked after you.....

Yes the managers were lovely 🥰
That would have been cool 🐠
