We arrived at the first crossing Sam Creek which was very interesting and Paul had to go a different way to the others as there were too many sharp turns.
Next was mistake creek this was a small creek but deep in parts anyway everyone through safely and on our way again.

Cannibal creek had a very steep entry and then at the bottom there was water. While the girls were walking the crossing to take photos Jill fell in then she went to get here thongs and put here camera into the water. On the other side and up the hill Werner got into a bit of trouble and had to be snatch strapped out.

Cypress creek was a log crossing and Ian had to do some directing of all the cars going over.

After that there was a really nice “ford” and was quite deep.
Then next was our last on and it was Nolan's Brook which was very deep so we all walked it and had a good look at it before we crossed it. They all put there blinds on with snatch straps ready for anything to happen but all through safely. The next people to come through did not have as much luck as us as they had to snatch one of there group out and his car filled up with water. (It was a Toyota Hilux).

Now we had a free run to the ferry and when we arrived it was closed until 1:00pm. We got on the ferry altogether. It was a sort trip on the ferry and then onto Seisia. We arrived at about 2:00 set up camp and had a walk around. Tried to book a trip to Thursday Island but its all full until Tuesday so we have decided not to worry about it.
Now we are all sitting around waiting to see who gets the shackle and I think it will be Jill for falling into the water.
