Where are we !!!

Ummm...I'm guessing you're at Cooktown

Hope the engine mount is the least of the problems, & the wind dies down for you all

Dad is up that way at the moment, camped at atherton and commented about the rain. Sounds like they might be having some fun.

Spoke with Yogi yesterday afternoon and they were at Coen headed to Archer River, he commented that the weather was good so far no rain. But that was as of 3pm yesterday.

Duggie also rang my yesterday as he was heading up to the Archer River. He said no rain but plenty of wind, typical Cooktown weather, he went fishing on Sunday but didn’t catch anything worth talking about.

Should be a good trip. Have heard Nolan's Brook(?) has claimed a few recently so all take care and keep shiny sides up.

Well guys a couple of use pulled into Siesia CP The adrenalin has been pumping hard and high. Some of the crew decided to camp on the Jardine river tonight whilst some pushed onto Siesia.

There are lots of stories to tell of trial and triumph. The stories will start over the next few days but I will start with some photos as I am to tired to write this time of night.

Thanks for the update,

Can you tell me did JK do the CREB track with the camper on.

Would have been a tough trip.

Regards
Geoff

Well here we are at the cape. Just arrived today. What a trip!! We did the otl from the start to finish where 95 % of people did not. We made a new track at gunshot and crossed every river. The most toughest trip I have done. The photos will blow you away when I get back to do the trip report. The group have had the best time. Last night we camped on the jardine to get rid of the excess

!!! Still getting over it !!! A great group and a fantastic adventure !!! Updates when I am not drinking!!!

Yep, the CREB was good fun - quite challenging with a camper in tow.

Lots of pics to come when I fire up the laptop tonight.

Some quick snaps of the myswag road construction group at gunshot with spectators.

We were considering charging a viewing fee.... people were waiting for us to build the road so they could get through.
