Sunday 30 November
Away across Shelburne Bay to have a look at Captain Billy Landing, I can’t find out anything about it. All I remember is that it was said to be very windy, but the name intrigues me. Had a good run across, the water is smooth again. Arrived at about 1400 hrs, there is a bit of reef around but sand closer to the beach, after a couple of trial run-ins I anchored in 3 meters of water.
Went ashore and found a toilet, information signs including one with the history ,at last the mystery is solved also a large shelter shed with a lot of flotsam hanging on the wall.
Met a young guy called John who had just pulled up, introductions were made and we sat down and had a yarn.
What a story, John and his mate put a 4wd on the train, they come from the Gold Coast, they flew up 4 days later, picked up the car and headed north. They when hunting around Musgrave Station and shot about 20 pigs, it was hot. Johns mate says he’s had enough, the heats got him so he hitchhikes from Musgrave Station back to Cairns and then fly’s home early. John is then left to go to the top ,hunting , fishing and extreme 4wdriving in HIS MATES BRAND NEW 4WDRIVE.Can you believe it ,his poor mate would be sitting down the Gold Coast wondering how is brand new baby’s getting along without him. Anyway, John was making the most of his long awaited holiday with or without his mate
