Hinchenbrook revisited

Tuesday 3 August to Thursday 5 August, Macushla, No. 7 Creek and Gayundah Creek

The sunny weather allowed us to appreciate the beauty of Hinchenbrook with it's wide, deep creeks and spectacular mountains. We anchored for a few hours at Macushla in Missionary Bay and walked the track to North Shepherd Bay. This took a couple of hours but the resulting views of the beach were worth the walk.

From here we made our way up No. 6 Creek and then across to No. 7 Creek (very imaginative naming up this way). We spent 2 nights here giving the fishing a go (a couple of big bream but not much else) and another walk along a boardwalk to Ramsay Bay. National Parks have a lot of facilities on Hinchenbrook for boaties and campers.

Thursday we motored around to Gayundah Creek where Warren was hoping to get some crabs. He wasn't disappointed catching 2 sandies and 1 big muddy to go with a big bream for dinner. Unfortuantely the muddy was empty!

Warren also caught 2 hammerhead sharks here which we released when we realised they weren't the big fish he has been waiting for. We heard the noise of crocs at night so this is definitely not the place to swim. Print this post
