So many of Cape York’s waterways are home to crocodiles, which makes a swim at Fruit Bat Falls all the more special. The falls are a 2.7km drive down a sandy track from the Bamaga Bypass Road and the Old Telegraph Track. After having 30-second showers while bush camping for the last few days, a swim here was heaven! The road to the falls is best suited to 4WDs (as are most of the roads on the Cape York Peninsula). If it’s busy, finding parking for a van or trailer might be difficult. The falls are very popular. There are toilets here, but no picnic facilities. The site is for day use only. Eliot Falls and Twin Falls are further down the Old Telegraph Track, but there is a particularly challenging creek crossing on the way. GPS coordinates: 11.26.24S 142.26.2.42E
