Note the chart plot below was planned but not completed. The Repulse Group to the west on return run was missed out. The lump of land above is Cape Conway on the mainland.
Decided this was needed for the non-locals. Seaforth is a Coastal Town 30 minutes north of Mackay. Just 5ks out the other side you get to Victor Ck boat ramp.
Rendezvous Victor Ck, Seaforth 0730 Dion, Peter and his daughter and myself intros and launching out of the way we headed out the maize of markers to get out of this creek on low water. Making for the Anchor Islands, Hammer, Ladysmith and Blacksmith Islands being the main of them. Part of The Smith Group.
Heading over to Thomas Island hanging off the Lindeman Group. This isolated group appeals to more so than the popular ones to the north.
Stopping in for a spell at the first bay on the northern side west end of Thomas.
Did a drive by of the next bay along on Thomas.
Unnamed Island off of Thomas on way across to Shaw
On our crossing to Shaw we passed Volskow Island. Basically a rock.
I spotted these Fjords for want of a better word on a map and wanted to investigate further.
This area is choice with plenty of bays to suit all conditions. Another landing in this spectacular bay.
Confident of finding water up this creek. Tiny dead fish stranded at the mouth.
Donned some footwear and up.
Hiked up a short distance taking the Pandana’s as a good sign. Would be some nice waterfalls in the wet season.
Not what I was hoping for but still it was water. Wouldn’t take much rain to top up some of the bigger holes that were dry.
That beach and dune is a causeway between Shaw and Gaibirra Islands. The hill in background is Lindeman Island. This was heading to the Maher Island.
Jesuit Point, Maher Island the main attraction is the cave but I must remember to investigate this Island a bit more.
Phantom cave, Maher Island I have since seen Jet Skis go into this. I am just gutless.
I have been slack. This trip was in December and it is now middle of Feb. The following video is parts of this trip ending with the Lindeman Resort that is closed.
Hope you liked George.
