As others have already said, really great to read about your wonderful experience. Thank you for sharing, especially the all the pictures. Enjoy the rest of your time there.

Thanks for sharing your adventure!
A great read.

So we’ll written, Thankyou. I’m late for work now but didn’t want to stop reading. So many memories for me when working up there in the 80’s and 90’s - when no person in their right mind went into iron range NP unless armed - Portland roads rent-a-crowd as they were known (drug crop growers), and the fox tail palm seed runners who didn’t ask questions. I suppose the old army test bombing areas and twisted iron towers are still around (agent orange test sites I was told?).
Love the day to day stuff also, so many similar memories from living on lighthouse stations. I look forward to the next one.

Thanks Cuppa. As others have said, a most enjoyable read. I think you should put all the installments together and publish them as a book.

Cheers

Wow

Thanks again, as a Cairns resident who's been up there a bit great to hear the detail of the wet season realities. Your considered thinking also prompted me to buy an ex Telstra gu which more than serviced our purpose on our 6 mth camping trip. Enjoy iron range, such a unique part of our world.
