When I left
cairns on the 2\6\06 the road was officially closed north of the
Weipa turn off. We carried special
permits to allow us through closed roads. By the time we got to the
Weipa junction turn off 3 days later the road was open. Lakefield closed at that time. The road from Lakeland to Archer was the best I have seen it no traffic to make corrogations Archer was 60cm over and a patrol is still there that was washed away about a week prior. Archer to
Coen is a bit rough. Junction to
Weipa is very good. Batavia is not posible we had lunch at Cox Creeek and it is a huge bog hole. The longer it is left the sooner we will be able to get through. Big bog hole just north of Rocky Ccreek and Rocky has a by pass around it. Bramewll is accessable North and South now but Wendy has no fuel at the Junction. Fruit Bat easily accessable
Twin falls with care, we were the first commercial tour to Twin this year. Crossed Canal easily but huge wash out before Sam stopped us going any further with 2 ton tucker trailer. Very wet at
Bamaga and Twin while we were there. Drier south of
Bramwell. Road was much ruffer coming home last night. Back up on 26\6 Cheers Rob
