Arrived back at
Laura yesterday arvo
Roads north from
Laura
First 30km out of
Laura pretty bad corrugations
Rest of road to Musgrave via
Hann River pretty good with roadworks in progress
Musgrave north...first 20km pretty heavily corrugated and last 20km to
Coen the same. The bits in between ordinary
Coen to
Weipa mild to badly corrugated in
places.
Sealed strips of road bring a welcome relief
PDR to OTT at Batavia Downs. Good road but BIG bulldust hole near Batavia Downs
airstrip...there is a
bush track around the obstacle
Coen, Archer River, OTT,
Moreton Telegraph Station to Bramwell
Junction..road good in
places with mild corrugations
Bramwell
Junction to
Bamaga...road pretty ordinary and heavily corrugated in
places. Bitumen strips bring relief.
Road conditions change all the time, so.........
Take it easy, lower tyre pressures, drive at a safe speed or pay the price.
There have been numerous accidents, rollovers and drownings of vehicles on Cape Roads over the past few weeks. Mechanical workshops along the way are chokkas with broken 4bies, trailers and vans and the
mechanics are smiling as hourly rate is $110ph plus
