Peaceful start to the day, morning showers and a bit of shopping in Weipa, then on the road toward Bramwell Junction and the start of the Old Telegrah Track...
Highlights from today (Mon-3-Aug):
- Bakery at Weipa was open, so we had to have a cream bun and custard tart
- Finally we made the Telegraph Track! Very little traffic and great fun traversing the rough terrain and creek crossings on the southern section
- another great bush campsite, on Cockatoo Creek, with a fresh babbling brook and no neighbours
- weather still fabulous
Lowlights:
- When in Woolworths, asked where the bakery section was and was pointed to the bread stacked up in the freezer
- Today we hit the worst corrugations so far. More than 50km of the Penn Dev Rd leading up Bramwell Junction
- Techo, still a bit on edge about crocs, sh_t his pants while standing in the Gunshot Creek when Tosh tossed a piece of debris to splash into the water right behind him
Tomorrow we plan to complete the OTT, cross the Jardine ferry and pick a spot to camp from the alternatives up near Bamaga. Time will tell if we set foot on The Tip tomorrow, else it'll be Wednesday.
