City to Bay

Sun was the City to Bay fun run. Tim dropped me in the city on the scooter and then went for a coffee before watching at the bottom of Anzac Hwy.  I had a super run, very happy, just sub 47min and 12th female outright. 
After pottering around home we went into church for a New Comers lunch, me as a representative of the Church and Tim as the new comer. Then it was off to collect the trailer from the Hawthornes, pick up some sandstone pavers, home to drop the pacers, then back to drop off the trailer, chores and bed. So excited about the pavers, will be perfect for my outdoor shower and around the pond. 

The days are getting longer and the trees are starting to green up. Only a couple of weeks until daylight savings starts. Yippee!!

A late late night at work last night (Board meeting and then back in the office until 10pm) blah! 

We're trying to decide on what Solar to install and by whom. I knew we hadn't started down this path for a reason, where to start?!?! But I think it will be worth it, electricity bills are just rising so much.

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...
