Tuesday 23rd of October Part two

Continuing on from previous post:-


We left Cardwell and refuelled at Tully (128.90 cents/litre).


We had breakfast at McDonalds at Innisfail.


We were absolutely shocked and dumb founded. From Ayr onwards people were using sprinklers. It was so shocking to see.

After Innisfail we turned inland and headed through East Palmerston to see tea and bananas growing, There was some really cool fauna crossings that looked like an extreme adventure course for humans.


The Jeep started to get a wee bit hot around Mount Molloy which stopped the air conditioning from working. We had to stop at the pub at Mt Molloy and have a beer. (well leisa had a beer and matt had a coke). We also had a really great lunch. Highly recommend lunch at this place. Big servings and good food and the beer was ice cold!




We started coming across bulls and cows on the road from here. (both alive and dead)


We stopped at Bobs lookout and had a good look out




Just after 2pm we hit the turnoff to the Cape at Lakelands. This is where the Cape York adventure begins.


We travelled until we got to Hann River and pulled up for a camp at the roadhouse. All the creek crossings between lakelands and Hann River were dry and the dust was well......very very dusty.

A Friend at Hann River

Well another quick post as there is so much to do and sitting at a computer is not one of them. We have decided to leave on Wednesday to go to Weipa. Hopefully we will get a chance to update again shortly. Still having a great time, no signs of getting a divorce and Leisa's Insomnia is well and truly cured
