G,day all,
was talking to the
Ranger in
Cooktown this morning and he said that the COAST road via Starcke was negotiable, but slow. A winch may be required to travel SOUTH via Starcke to get out of Wakooka
Creek and the Howick River. He came back via
Kalpowar last Friday and the
water in Barramundi
Creek was still up to bonnet height and a snorkle may be necessary, but not boggy in the
creek itself.
A bog hole between Barra
Creek and
Kalpowar is negotiable through the middle.
Several parties have been in and out of
Bathurst Bay in the last few weeks. All these conditions will improve as things dry out of course.
Our party (4 vehicles) will be leaving
Gladstone next Monday and probably travel up the coast road via Starcke next Wednesday for a couple of weeks in paradise. Will post a report when available.
Cheers,
Bros.
