Endeavour Falls

 7 - 9 August 2025

After a walk along the beach to marvel at the coloured sands at Elim Beach, we headed back towards Cooktown, stopping to spend a couple of nights at Endeavour Falls. The caravan park comes highly recommended, with lovely green grass and lots of trees. The falls are accessed from a track at the back of the park.

The falls are a short walk from the caravan park

We planned to spend two nights there getting prepared for our Cape York Peninsula trip, stocking up on groceries, washing and organising the storage so everything we might need would be easily accessible. 

Once the washing was on the line we drove into town with a stop  suggested by the caravan park owner. A suspension bridge spans a creek that joins into the Endeavour River at a T junction. Walking across the bridge we spotted a large crocodile on the bank of Endeavour River. We walked a little further and realised she was the smaller of a pair sunning themselves on the water's edge. She was big, but he was huge. 

We continued on into town and another walk along the river before heading to pick up groceries and then on back to the caravan park. Restocked and repacked we were ready to venture further north.
