The internet didn’t really work at Seisia Beach yesterday so I couldn’t blog. There wasn’t mich happened anyway. It was mostly driving from Coen to Bamaga. It was a long but pleasant drive. The road mostly unsealed but wasn’t too bad except probably 25% of it was quite rough, bumpy and muddy. The highlight definitely was the drive through Jardin River National Park. The soil was red and all the green trees made such contrast.
After over 5000km in 2 weeks, I have finally reached the tip of Australia. It certainly is a milestone of my trip. It was wet and very windy at the tip. It was very difficult keeping my hat on. The forecast for Cape York is not good for this whole week so I decided not to stay. However, I am glad that I came just after the wet season so I could have a sense of what it would be like in the wet season. I can tell you, I don’t think I want to be here during the wet season 🙂
So I have gone as far north as I could; it’s time to head back south. I decided to head over to Brumwell Junction and see how I feel. Once I got there, I had a much needed coffee and decided to get myself to Weipa. So here I am in Weipa after another lond day of driving. I think I will be staying here for a couple of nights to recover.
