ROAD TO WEIPA OPEN SOON

Hi Footie,

The silly ones are people like me, that have to have trailer repairs in Weipa. Man it cost me a motsa and I reckon he could have almost retired from what I paid. Carry my own welder these days so will be just a tourist next time! Don't missunderstand me here I'm only too happy to spend $ in these places but that was robbery.

Kind regards

Wait till you've had to have your radiator flown to Cairns for repair :))

Still cheaper than Weipa. It is inconvenient and anything not done by air up there takes for ever by road.

Hope it got there and back in one piece!

Kind regards

The top end from weipa to bamaga roads should be open by the first week of June.

All the best
Eric

Read reply 2 up.

Thanks Eric.

There's been a bit of conflicting info recently. The ExploreOz road conditions currently shows Weipa to Bamaga as Open to 4WD, whereas another thread said it may not open until August !!

When do you head off on your first trip??

Might see you on the road.

i think the august date was for heavy vehicles not normal 4WDs
