Cooktown to Isabella Falls

45km. I rode into Cooktown IGA supermarket early at 7am to get enough supplies for the 375km ride to Coen, where I could get more supplies. I thought I needed 7 days supplies, but hoped I would get to Coen sooner.

I squeezed everything into the panniers, and at the rather late leaving time of 10:00am I left Cooktown. There was a fair bit of traffic until I left the turn-off to Hope Vale. Then it has hilly country until I got to Isabella Falls. I wanted to get further than the falls, but it was 4:20pm, and the next camping site was 22km away, so I made the decision to stay at the free camping at Isabella Falls. I was told it would be busy, but there was no one there. Someone came later to look at the falls, but I camped alone
