Today we began probably one of the more adventurous legs of our journey....The Old Telegraph Track. We left Bramwell Station at 9:20 and fuelled up at Bramwell Junction paying $2.10 per litre. I must say we were a bit surprised by how narrow the track was. The first crossing and the one we looked at yesterday was Palm Creek. It was an adrenalin rush for all of us drivers and passengers. But it was only the beginning. Next was Ducie Creek with one of these tri...

On the 27th we left Weipa at 9.00am. The big part of our adventure was about to begin, the start of the Old Telegraph Track. We stopped for photos at Wenlock River and Morton Telegraph Station. We decided to have a short driving day so pulled up to camp at Bramwell Station. This was a lovely spot and could even buy a beer at happy hour.

We noticed later in the day that Col had a flat tyre and had to go an...

It was humid in the rainforest but it was very pretty and well worth a look. Our next stop was at the Daintree River where we had to cross via the ferry. There was a reasonably short line in front of us and we were on the other side in almost no time. Almost straight away the road started to cl...

19th, 20th, 21st and 22nd July Marty & Jen arrived about 8.30pm Friday night. It was very exciting all being here. Our Cape York Trip IS ON!!!!! Woke up to a beautiful day on Saturday. We did a bit of shopping and the guys started on the repairs that they needed to do. We all spent a bit of time just sitting on the beach looking out at the horizon. It was nice to just sit back and unwind after the km's we had all travelled. Sunday was pretty much the...
