We have left the van in the fisho's back yard at Cooktown and have headed north to Cape York. First night in the tent was at Hahn River, see pic. The second night was at Moreton Telegraph Station and tonight we are at Loyalty Beach approx 45 km to the Tip of Cape York.
Today is the first day we have phone and Internet access, so that is why there have been no progress reports.
We took the Battle Camp road from Cooktown to Laura, with a couple of deep creek crossings, but since getting on the PDR (that's the Peninsula Development Road for southerners) we have had no creek crossings. We came across two girls in a Honda Accord that had lost it's sump guard in a deep sandy patch, but they were OK and they crossed the Jardine River Ferry just behind us. So far the only damage we have is a crack in the windscreen caused by some Rectal Sphincter that was going way too fast for the road, slid on the loose gravel and showered us with rocks.
Tomorrow we go to Cape York and then back here before starting back south.
