Loyalty Beach

This weekend is an opportunity to escape the "Rock". To be somewhere else rather than on  an island that is 5 square kilometres in size. Somewhere I have not been before and somewhere with some privacy - an escape.
An opportunity to explore, and do some birding.
Loyalty beach is a campground on the Cape York Peninsula. Run by Dan and Patsy Lennox (https://www.loyaltybeach.com/about) and caters for all camping styles. The camp ground has plenty of amenities and hotel style accommodation with a beer garden at the northern most point. I am told that the fish and chips are pretty good here. 
For me the priority was a relax and an opportunity to walk the long beaches and explore the bush nearby. This is also a birding hotspot (http://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L2533974) for those that are interested and needless to say I managed to get some great shots over the two days of my stay.
