Well you can take the boy out of north Queensland....but he'll keep wanting to come back to visit!!
Had a couple of weeks off for the school holidays in late July - was a good time to be away from the freezing temperatures at home (even northern NSW got temps down to -9 !!) although the north was bloody cold (~freezing) for that time of the year as well.
Camped for a few days with good friends on the Herbert River - absolutely beautiful place - an old favourite - and althought the fish were pretty well shut down - managed a couple of sooties (see attached) the family loved it which bodes well for returning again (when the weather's warmer and the barra are on the chew!).

Nice looking spot mate,I had to do a google to see where it was ,can't be to many crocs around .
wamjam
There are a couple of large crocs not too far away from where we camped - we were careful - had a good look around (they're usually not to hard to find during cold weather) before boating and nearshore activities - the area in front of the camp was clear and shallow - giving us a bit iof a head start if need be!
