Last night we all got little sleep, with the wild horses continually roaming around our camp – sounded like they were going through our goods left out. The stallion would round up the other horses often at at a gallop…very dangerous if you were on your way to the toilet block. It was the discussion point of the park in the morning - someone must have complained as they seemed to have been moved on today.
Today was the day we made out for the very top of Cape York, driving through lush tropical rainforest, which often provided a canopy over the top of the road. Corrugations continued!! A few bush or scrub turkeys ran across the road.
Tide was coming in rapidly so we could not walk around the beach and had to trek upwards over some steep rocky terrain to get to have our picture taken at THE SIGN!!!! The return walk route was over some steep sections which provided stunning 360 degree views. Upon reaching the car park+++, an ambulance is attending a woman who had a tumble,[Heard later that she was in the park and she had broke her arm in 2 places]
On our return Michael noticed his front driver’s tyre was down to 20lb pressure……Tony picks out a small phillips head screw from the tyre…….looks remarkably like the screws used in the wing of yesterdays WW11 – DC3 plane wreck. Michael is somewhat pissed – fourth tyre puncture problem in four weeks. The pit crew are getting very efficient and have the tyre changed very quickly, whilst onlookers come to give us there advice on tyre pressure…[bunger off it was a screw]
Get back to Seisia and drop off tyre for another puncture repair and then sit out the hot hot hot afternoon. We went down to the restaurant bar area for a walk pre dinner and decided to stay for a drink – Dot enjoyed her baby bottle of French Bubbles. Back to camp for tea and for a change from the meat and vegetables [potatoes,carrots,onions, sweet potato] in the fire Dot puts together a tasty pasta/chorizo dish….we are missing Peter C and Craig this year to assist with the leftovers.
