Tuesday 23rd October Part One!

We had another day of full on driving today another day of fuel prices and dodgy chicko rolls.

We left Bluewater Caravan Park at four minutes past five in the morning. We have 1224kms to go. The humidity has turned Leisa's hair into something like Nicole Kidmans in BMX bandits.

We meet the local constabulary about 40 minutes later. There was about 15 hawks/eagles/kites (haven't worked out what they are yet) feeding off some road kill and when they took off, we both looked up and watch these things fly away as Matt was still accelerating. Through the flock of birds there was some pretty red and blue lights. Matt was not speeding that much so after a 15 minute talk and a warning we were on our way again. Out of repest for those police officers, Matt did not speed at all after that. However Matt was disgusted when he asked "What speed do you think the hummer was doing??"

We stopped at Cardwell for a little walk around. Cardwell is now on the list of places we would like to live.

Anyhow, I have to go. We are off to Benny and Sabs place for dinner and I just g0t the hurry up. Matt and I are absolutely exhausted but having a good time. We have not stopped the whole time we have been here and this was the first time I have been near a computer for over a week. I am enjoying the no mobile phone coverage. I will try to post more photos tonight or tomorrow. We are off to Thursday Island tomorrow (Mon 29th of Oct) and then off to Weipa on Tuesday so if I don't get a chance to update tonight or tomorrow, i won't be updating till Friday.
