Thomas & Petra…we are off then

 Today we let all our friends and we have to say a big thank you to of them. We had a great time  in PC.  This morning we left the coast and drove up the mountain to Mareeba. Set up camp and went mountain biking. Awesome ride, some Margaritas and then yummy mussels in white wine broth with garlic bread. 

 Relaxing days, catching up with friends, checks & repairs, Port Douglas, beach walks and usual staff

 Arrived on Sunday back in Palm Cove and will stay the week with Natalie and family. Had some appointments for repairs which has been completed today. Tomorrow reorganising the caravan & car, catching up with friends all week long, Monday last check for the caravan and then we are heading west😜😜😜😜🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 So exited  Very windy afternoon in PC

 Late start this morning, tyre pressure up again and heading  to Cooktown, Great campground, washing, repairing little bites,  Went to the wharf, fish & chips, relaxing in the sun and wind. Short visit to the local Anzac park.

 Long drive today and everything went well. Set camp and Petra made some fantastic lobster spaghetti with lemon and butter. 😘😘😘😘

 Same road back direction Bramwell but without caravan and dropped air pressure more down, 22 psi. Worked very well and we increased speed up to 85 km/ hrs to fly over the corrugations.  Great day at the falls and a good off-road drive. Car performed

 Left after breakfast Loyalty Beach and had a fast smooth run to Jardins River ferry. No wait, quick cross and the bad roads started. Corrugation got worse after turn off to Fruit bate falls. 80 km away from Bramwell my right mirror nearly fell off. Had to hold it first, then tied it with cable ties.  At Bramwell station we set up and started to repair all issues  Had to borrow a screw from a neighbour camper to fix the mirror, then discovered that I had lost another screw on one of my high beam lights. Fixed it. After all this we started a camp fire and had a really yummy dinner.
