Gardening update

I’ve been waiting for spring/summer to see if everything would grow, and yes, the gardening is alive and flourishing.



I didn’t plant anything in this box....it’s all growing from the compost we mixed through.  I think they are pumpkin or zucchini and tomatoes.



Plums are appearing.

Hard to see...but a good crop of blueberries.



I’ve caught Tim in the act...his nightly routine when he gets home...wanders around the garden having a snack.

Picking leaves from the lettuces 😊


Looking neat.

And the outdoor shower strip and growth. Sadie and my favourite spot 😂.

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 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...

Cape York Day 10 Loyalty Beach to Bramwell Station

Image
We both enjoyed our day out on the ferries yesterday, something different in the trip. We drove North 25km to Punsand Bay, a place Tim had heard of that was worth visiting. The bay was nice, but I was in love with the resort there. That is all that is there, no town or anything. You go through the resort to get to the beach, and can camp or stay in cabins or lodges. More expensive, but a great spot if you were happy to hang about and do nothing for a bit. I guess that’s what most resorts are about. Apparently they host a Melb Cup day there when all the station owners from down the Cape come up with their horses and they have a race on the beach. A big to-do for the Cape. Then we started our trip down the Cape. Tim was still keen to try going to Eliot Falls so I grinned through gritted teeth and agreed 😉.  We left the trailer on the side of the road all locked up, put the car bra on and easily made it through the water. What was I worried about!!! The depth was up to Tim’s waist th...
