The Tip of Cape York, far north Queensland. It has been an adventurous trip with some highlights and some lowlights. Travelling around 5000km so far, we have been on roads not travelled before, been to Hells Gate Roadhouse on the Savanah Way and up to the Tip. Some things shook off by the rough roads, CB Antenna snapped, screws worked loose, clamps on the awning fell off and one of the batteries in the caravan fell out. We got the battery and the cover back, re-wired it and everything worked. Going to get a new antenna from the same place Dave and Bec got theirs from as they lost an antenna too,
We did the 5 beaches 4 wheel drive track from Somerset Beach near the Tip. The Landcruiser did its stuff very well, low range 2nd gear, centre diff lock on and turn-assist enabled so the Landcruiser just went wherever I pointed it. The Micky Thompson tyres never slipped once even though there were steep ascents and descents with some deep, soft sand and rocks.
Heading back south tomorrow, looking forward to putting normal pressure in the tyres when we get off the dirt roads
