Hi All

Thanks to "Andy Fishing" on youtube my Son wants to do an overnight "Jungle" hike and camp to find some sooties ect. Ive scoured the net for locations but all I get is "Google Earth is your friend" 

Turns out, Google earth is not my friend and I can't find anything with it. Im not asking for your secret spots but maybe a tip in the right direction, we are prepared to do the leg work.

We travel full time and are currently in Cairns based and moving to Macaky over the next couple of months and will be in Mackay till February.

Cheers

This fella used Google to find some spots. Maybe have a look at the link he provides in the thread - it may lead you to somewhere, hopefully.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Just drive up Gillies range road and you'll see heaps of creeks you could hike up and find some sooties. Just stop at one you like the look of, park the car at a campsite and start walking. Watch out for yowies if your gonna camp overnight though.

Or pick a gorge and start hiking up it e.g: Behana or Tully gorge

Hopefully I get chance to up for a look up the Gilles Range before we leave Cairns area.
