Info . Bathurst Bay and Cape Melville

Phill we camped just up a bit further on the beach not to far from where the track came out.

As for the water it was full of iron with a real reddish colour I did drink it one night when i woke up in the horrors and couldn't find anything else with no noticable side effects.

As for the exact location of it I'm not 100% sure as I drove one of the boats in when the boys did the first run for water.

I did do a trip up there late one arvo with a skin full and know it was back around the salt pan a bit and off a little side track at the base of a small hill (not much help there sorry).

There was a black poly pipe running out of a hill into a cattle trough which was constantly running.

I did hear a rumour that the locals had closed it off a year or so ago after someone shot a scrub bull and left the carcass there.

I'll chat to the other guys and see if I can dig up some more info for you.

Phill the fresh water was just off the main track a k or two near that cloud bank in the google image.

Pretty much where the trees are a lot greener looking.

Yeah but he said he's going in 2020 so thought he probably hasn't left yet

We are heading up to Crocodile camp at Cape Melville in Oct this year.
