Hi guys want to take kids camping any ideas on somewhere could take them where they could wet a line a and drop in some cheribin traps just so they get some variety.
Somewhere they could swim would be a massive bonus obviously crocwise but a shallow area crossing or
Something

Try Tumbling waters nice and close, you can put Cherabin pots in. They also do a movie night for the kids on a Saturday, they have a restaurant and you can have a fire. But like all water up here just be aware that there’s probably a croc in it. If you line it up with a big tide there a chance to a mangrove jack in the water running behind the property.

Have a look at stray creek down the end of Fleming road in the Douglas Daly area.

Douglas tourist part, You can drive to the daly for a flick if you continue along the road and you can drive across for an exsperiance. The hot springs themselves. When my kids come up we have to go there and there now 24 yrs old. If you go to the douglas bridge and shine a torch at night ur kids will be fascinated by whats in the water.

Oolloo crossing is a nice place get barra there. As the other guys said watch out for crocs. Some big geckoes on the daly.
