Cape York

It was a little warm last night not much breeze on the west side of the cape. We have a shower do a load of washing and then we trek off the final 35k to the cape. Another couple of creek crossings that are very murky so we don’t walk them and drive through. After a 5k section of tropical forest we drive as far as we can and walk the last 15minutes to the tip.

We are here we made and considering its just a sign on a rock at the edge of the ocean you can’t help but feel like you have achieved something. The roads may be good but I can tell you it is still no easy trek if you use the Old Telegraph track and this is made harder by the fact it is no longer maintained.

We are proud and we suck in the moment and ponder what is next. That’s right we still have to drive 800km back to get our van.

Next we try to find and old track to Evans Bay but after a couple of drives down old disused tracks resulting in more car scratches we abandon our search and head for Somerset. A nice bay sheltered by Albany Is. The tides have not been suitable for fishing so we drive around and spend the arvo sitting on the beach.
