    Which beach name do you think is the laziest-Four Mile Beach or another? Let us know your thoughts! 😴🏖

      I guess 4 mile beach. Have you been to 5 mile creek it’s really nice. Where we live it have been thunder and lightning storms because it is the wet season. What is cyclone season.

    Four Mile Beach is actually named after a local Indigenous family with the surname Fourmile. The beach is actually four kilometers long, not four miles.

    To be fair we have a heap load of beaches. So yeah it does get tiring thinking of a new name for every beach. 😜😎

      I guess, at least they measured the beach. It could be worse, they could be called Beach 1, Beach 2… etc 😄 - James

    Grumpy little peop. Best time to d the north is autumn into winter. No cyclones etc. And it is still hot enough to swim.

    Ah it's been so long since I've been to PD. Is it still horribly expensive as it was 30 years ago? "Captain Cook" ...Nice come back Josie ... Made me laugh. This is what I hate about north QLD...so many nice beaches and when the weather is good they look stunning, but you can't swim in the water. Ugh. Great to know you plans! Get some Aussie 'stubbies' and you won't have to hitch up those pant when you walk James! No idea what 'stubbies' are? Ask an Aussie over 50 they'll tell you. Or perhaps you could google it.
    Great stuff guys, keep going.

      Ummm.. well everything is quite expensive to us budget travellers.. 😆
      I know right! I love swimming, but it feels like from now on until WA, we’ll be avoiding all of the water!

      @ Yes for sure . Maybe in the future you can visit Cooktown and Cape York Peninsula but you need to know how to drive a 4WD and must visit in the dry season which is between May and October .
