The Soap Shop


Well we made it to Friday!  Hooray!  Late meeting Tues night with the UK and then Bethlehem Church Council last night, plus end of month reporting stresses, has made it feel like long week.  Going to be a busy weekend, with a couple of fun runs, Eloise’s birthday, Seinfeld, church, bible study and mum/dad visiting.  Looking forward to it all though.

So my favourite shop at the moment is the Soap shop at the Central Markets.  I started by buying dishwashing detergent and laundry detergent and have now ventured into the soaps, face cream, body lotion, shampoos and conditions.  The face cream is divine, I bought one they made up with honey, royal jelly, coconut and nice things in it.  And the body lotion I got made up has cinnamon in it.  My skin turns red if I put too much on as it warms it up.  Anyway, they reuse the bottles so I have a rotating supply.  As one detergent bottle runs out it goes next to the trolley to take with me on a Friday night for a refill (trying to reduce waste as well).

Cape York Day 4 (1) Karumba to Musgrave Roadhouse

Image
Took our time leaving Karumba this morning, that’s what holidays are. Coffee on the waterfront, talking to some local boys about the fish they caught.  Drove round the other side of Karumba where it faces the Cape of Carpentaria, picked a couple of green mangoes which are now in the car to ripen. Drove through station country to the Mitchell River, which we bravely decided to cross. Bra on the car so that was $160 Tim was glad he spent.  The countryside was full of these huge ant hills. And scattered everywhere.

Cape York Day 4 (2) Karumba to Musgrave Roadhouse

Gate girl! A beautiful spot here at Musgrave. When we hit the Peninsula Developmental Road Tim was bitterly disappointed to find out that it’s been bitumen-isd. But this Roadhouse is on a lovely spot above a current dry river, lots of green grass, only a couple of people camping. And the best weather yet, cool breeze and probably 28 degrees. Really pleasant.

Cape York Day 7 Weipa to Fruit Bat Falls

Image
The plan today was to go to Eliot Falls to camp for two nights. Eliot Falls is on the Old Telegraph Track, a very hairy 4WD track which Tim did years ago with Anthony. There are two entry points to the falls from the main road which Tim thought was closer/easier and I didn’t double check the plans with him.  Anyway the day didn’t quite work out as we thought. The drive from Weipa to Bramwell Junction was easy, a few more giant anthills at Bramwell Junction.  A check of the battery power, Tim’s latest concern 😉. But all is working well after a solid charge at Weipa last night. The roadhouse and sign to the old track. We chatted to the girl at the roadhouse who said that there was a water crossing to get to Eliot Falls from the South entry of the track so we did a loop round to come in from the North.  This involved 15km on the Peninsula Road, 7km on 4WD track to meet up with the Old Telegraph track and then another 7km on the Old Telegraph track. We hadn’t got far down th...
