Easy drive today; roads were excellent with only a little corrugation.
Highlights from today (Sun-2-Aug):
- short morning walk upstream at Coen River to the Coen Cascades (our first serious excercise)
- shadey, "tropical-feel" campground at Weipa; great amenities; park popular but not crowded
- superb big orange sunset over the Gulf
- Sunday roast beef with 3-veg & gravy dinner from the Bodouri oven
- got to hose the Landcruiser down at the Weipa campground. Futile really, but it made us feel better
- short walk around Weipa town (it's not possible to do a long walk; it's a very small centre)
Lowlights:
- had to watch out for some of the local yokels driving very fast as wew approached town
- Weipa stores closed on Sunday (only the newsagent was open), but that's to be expected
- the grey nomads in the campsite near us have a ridiculous, bright white fluffed-up pet chicken roaming around their site!
Tomorrow morning we'll top up a few groceries at Woolworths, drop into Mitre10 for a few bits & pieces and then we'll head back to the Penninsula Dev Rd and up past Bramwell onto the Old Telegraph Track. How far we get for our camp tomorrow rermains to be seen.
