Ice and UHF communication along Cape York Peninsula?

You MAY get ice at Brampton station - but don't bank on it. Basically the Cape is a remote area with fairly big gaps between any services.

Brampton = Bramwell Station :)

Most of the "made" ice is small tubes, no one transports ice past Laura.
Transporting ice would be costly and the corrugations for a truck would collapse the tubes ending up a with a block in a bag ..

I did see an ice maker, but can't remember where that was, I suspect it was one of the camp ground on the tip, Punsands or Loyalty.. Could have been Bramwell...

If you go that route [buying a 2nd hand engle etc] also at the very least upgrade the wiring , costs stuff all to run some decent size twin core from your standard battery [fused at + battery end ] to an anderson plug and switch the fridge plug to same , = less voltage drop and wasted energy in the form of heat in the piss standard poor piggy plug wiring , even the smallest 15lt engle set on high will FREEZE a 6pack of 500ml water bottles to use as reusable ice blocks in a larger esky in an hour-1/2 of driving …….. I nowadays use my 15lt to make ice for the Esky on a weekly basis on my 125km dirt road shopping trip ….
