Happy New Year

Well it’s been while...not sure why I dropped off the blogging, but can’t remember having too many sofa nights since we got home from the trip. 

It’s the end of  the Christmas/New Year 10 day break, and I think today was the almost the best. No racing around, beautiful weather and we got through some gardening chores together. 

The front yard really needed a clean up after the tree was removed, plus I’m getting a new fence done and we need to pull down the old one before he will install the new one. I would have been there for weeks, but a man with a pick can hack through it so much quicker. So as Tim hacked away I made a pile of debris. Not sure how we’re going to get rid of that yet, 




Then I bought a $50 bread maker and put a loaf on to cook. A trip to Bunnings and the pot plants were reported. Tim pottered in the shed with the new camper.  We sold the old one yay!





The bag is packed ready for my ride to work tomorrow. 

Dad is in hospital waiting for his heart operation. Marianne is having her baby sometime next weekend and Nathan is moving house. A lot happening for the Sawyers.

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...
