Got up a bit later today and re-arranged the food boxes, got even more space now ... Yay!! After a little spat with the shazza per washing we decided to mosey on up the road to bramwell roadhouse for the night. Just as we were packing up, couldn't find my phone anywhere, searched everything, pulled stuff out of the car an even had everyone else on the trail. Tried 'find my iPhone' with the satellite dish but to no eval, crapple strikes again!! Just when I'd given...

Left a bit later after a shower today and headed to coen for some fuel and supplies, met a nice shop lady; quite a character! Bit of cable tie bush mechanics on the phone holder that broke off, Then up the road to the swimmin' hole (no crocs here) had a bite to eat, a little paddle and on to tonight's destination. Soooo maaaany coooregatiooooooons!! Few road side stops... Lost a speedo's function and tyre troubles; not for us (for once!). Off to bremwell junction...

Hit the good road which had even been graded recently and even got some tar...

Awesome shell collecting, guess coz we're so close to the reef- Nichol says I have to stop! Nichol caught a fishy then we got the Internet going, had a few bevvies, dinner, hopefull...

Bit of a tricky, slow drive today lots of ups and down. Stopped at cooktown for the IGA and some fuel and a sneaky pressie for Lewis and on the road again. Lunch at starkey river where we were originally going to camp but looked a bit yuko so decided to keep on truckin'. Looked intently for a campsite that we thought we'd never find then finally found a great spot on top of a ridge, beautiful view (check out the photo) not super psyched to write the blog, need a ...
