  • Hey everyone!
    This week we take our Next Gen Ford Ranger and Roadstar caravan to Bowen, QLD. This place is the mango capital of australia, we explore the area and we are a staying at the Horseshoe bay resort. Chelsea takes us out looking for some mangoes, and we visit the BIG mango. We try our luck with some fishing as always Chelsea ends up catching something! Right next to the caravan park is Grays bay a perfect spot for a swim and cool off. Next stop is Groper creek for a overnighter and some more fishing where Bryce actually catches something! As we continue north to townsville we stop in at Home Hill and check out a couple of points of interest.
    Thanks for watching and have a Merry Christmas!

    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 🎅

    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.

    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
