Saltwater Creek (Lakefield) - is it a tidal crossing?

Richard - Tide comes to the causeway at Saltwater but this time of year you will not have to cross with any water over the Causeway. When it is flowing the fresh beats the salt back anyway.

The Lakefield road may be starting to deteriorate this time of year. Hopefully you will get feedback on that.

Have fun doing the drive and another thing to consider is that it may be quite corrugated on the Battle Camp Road (Old Laure to the Endeavor Valley/Hopevale Road) by now - If it is it can be quite a rough ride :-)

Cheers Tony

thanks for the info Tony, much appreciated. looks like we'll have another couple of days in Weipa now because I think I bent something doing a rather t
steep exit of a creek crossing of palm creek. took a few goes and bounced my way up it. on the plus side it got rid of a knocking noise in the suspension by seating in a new ball joint properly but on the down side I think I now need a wheel alignment. oh well, all part of the fun.

thanks again

Richard
