Cape York Trip 2008

This blog is going to be used to track the build up of our new 200 series Landcruiser and our preparation for our actual trip from Adelaide to Cairns, up to Cape York "The Tip" and finally back home to Adelaide.

We are leaving on 26th June 2008 and returning on the 27th July 2008

Day 12 - Weipa

We got an early appointment at the doc for Leticia and she just has the effects of a cold which was exaggerated by the flight to Cairns so no dramas.

We went shopping at what seems to be the most expensive Woolworths in Australia!  Unbelievably expensive.  We estimated it was about 60% higher in price on everything compared to Adelaide but it only gets worse from here so we stocked up for the next week with food and essentials.

We bummed around the campground for most of the day and James and I went out to try our luck again with the rods.    I did manage to catch an unidentified flat head type of fish.  We can't seem to find out what it was but it had a flat head and was black and white????

Not a lot else happened today other than some R&R which was very welcome.  We are intending to head off reasonably early start our assault on the Telegraph Track as we head up to The Tip.
