I'm heading up to
Cape York in a few weeks (coming from
Melbourne) and I want to re-stock the Engel with some good meat before I take on the Cape. I will want to get it cryovac-d as
well.
Can anyone recommend a good butcher near the base of the Cape? I'm thinking maybe
Cooktown, although I'm sure I read something somewhere (quite possibly here) about there being a good one at Musgrave...

Last year we went to
Cooktown to stock back up as I wanted butcher sausages, not
supermarket ones. The butcher at
Cooktown did even make his own sausages as he was waiting for them to come in. We ended up at the local
supermarket in
Cooktown, I think it was
IGA or similar, at the top of the
hill. The meat on the shelf was all cryovac and was very good quality and
well priced. Wished we had not spent as much at the butcher before going to the
supermarket. We thought it was good enough value to overstock.
I wouldn't go past them.

We've been back 2 weeks from the cape and did our meat shopping in
Cairns on the way up at:

They cryovac and its included in the price of your meat, not bad price or taste. I emailed the order a week before collection and asked for some to be frozen which was great had fresh meat most of the trip.
