Cape York Day 1 continued

A long day driving. Went pretty smoothly. The road was pretty good, although lots of dust and stones which Tim was crying about 😆. We were driving at 90kph which is supposedly the right speed for fuel efficiency and paid off at 13 ltrs per 100, which was better than our Simpson Desert trip which was faster but something like 16-17 litres per 100.  Not far down the road and we stopped for morning tea, Lyndhurst.  

We didn’t see many other cars on our way. Stopped at Copper Creek camping reserve for lunch, it was horrendous with flies. Cattle grazing country I guess. 

We stopped later when Tim spotted some water. Only to find out our water tank under the trailer is leaking, stones probably caused it. Tim was under the trailer having a look at it, duct taping it, and I was keeping an eye on the large bull I spotted in the background. 

We were too late for a cabin at the caravan park, so after cracking a beer and hoovering some chocolate we had enough energy to put up the tent, and get some potatoes on to boil. It was actually a beautiful warm still night, no flies or mozzies. And we both slept well.
