In Mossman we decided to be cheap skates and stay in the vacant lot of land next to the Butchers that was posted on Wiki Camps. Not a problem we rang the number and the man was very amenable - said we could stay even said he would wave the normal charge as the toilet facilities posted on Wikicamps were not available yet. 🙂

In the morning we suspected something might be amiss when the butcher parked his ute in the drive way blocking our exit.

Yep the butcher whose lease covers said vacant block wanted to have a chat before we left. Turns out he and his landord are having a disagreement regarding how the owner wants to use the block. After he found out the details of who had authorised our stay he moved his car.

His meat is pretty good we had some marinated lamb chops for tea tonight. I hope they sort something out soon as it could be a win - win. We spent money in the butcher shop that we wouldn't have if we weren't staying there.
