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 9 - Cooktown to Musgrave Station

We packed up and had a good look around Cooktown in the morning.  It was a real pity that the Captain Cook Museum was closed because it was listed as a must see.  We drove up the really steep Grassy Hill and went to the lookout.  Awesome 360 degree views.

Amelia loved getting out and having a look around.

We bought this backpack carrier in Cairns after seeing a few other people with them.  This was the first test run and Amelia loved it.MR3P4893

We got on the road and headed North stopping in at the 'Old Laura' homestead for a break and look around.  Life must have been tough for these guys!MR3P4907 MR3P4908 MR3P4912 MR3P4917

Another addition to Amelia's belongings is her new chair.  A bargain purchased at Cooktown.  At least we all have a chair now :)
