15 - 18 August 2025
We left Archer River Roadhouse and took the turn-off towards Portland Roads. We had booked 3 nights at Cooks Hut Campground in Kutini - Payamu (Iron Range) National Park and were very much looking forward to it. The road wasn't in terrible condition but there were still some bad patches. We found a spot to stop and have a bite to eat then stopped at Mount Tozer Lookout before continuing on to the campground.
We had booked a different spot to the one we stayed on last year - this one is on the edge of the campground with the rainforest behind us, so a little bit quieter. Most of the other campers who stayed there while we were there were also birders, so lots of information was shared.

We were lucky to have great weather this time and Mick was able to venture out to a number of favourite spots at the other campgrounds nearby, along the track at the back of Cooks Hut, along the Old Coen Track and along the main road. Even though I'm not a birder, I really enjoy spending time in places like this.
Our next stop would be for three nights in a house at Portland Roads, only about 35 minutes away, so we didn't need to rush to get going. We drove in to Lockhart River to pick up some supplies, and also to fuel up, before returning to camp to finish packing up and set off.
