After a big shop, we set off the next day heading for Brampston Beach, which is south of Cairns. Brampston has been highly reccomended by numerous friends as a great polace to stay, just pull up on the grass they said, looking over the water.
It could not have been more different, for a start there is only one caravan park at the beach, which was "sorry mate, we are full, but if you want to come in and have a look at a couple of sites, we could squuze you in there. As it was late in the afternoon, and there are not many free camps around, we took a chance.
The sites we had were uneven, in a slight gully. The fact that they have had 7 days of rain with an inch a day, did not make it very pleasent under fooot.
Not the sort of park we wuold return to, as every spare inch of dirt has a camp on it
Ther next day we discovered there used to be a second park an other kilometre up the road, where you could "drive in and park on the grass overlooking the ocean"
Unfortunately the park was purchased by a chinese based consortium who immediratly closed the park and have let it deteriorate. Jusyt another case of people wanting to get money our of the country and buy up land.
