I'm keen, I was pretty keen to head out next year. But doing Fraser in December and planning 5-6 in Europe 2014 that is probably going to be Abit much...

Any chance of adding a bit of commentary to some of the pics so we know where the pics were taken

BTW..... Great Pics.... some beautiful country

Very nice pics. Brings back a few fond memories.

Thank you for the tip about Eddies as an alternative to the Cooktown CP. The Boss wants to spend a few days in Cooktown for family history reasons, so somewhere on the beach would be great.

Great pix mate, well done

cheers bud ,an amazing place shame that i saw lots of fresh bitumin ,im gla di got to show my family before the government fnds a way to develop and destroy it

G,day Boxy,

How far up is the bitumen now?, last year they look liked they were nearing completion to Laura, where else have they been laying the dreaded stuff?

Great photos, i wished i had taken as many as you have. I note that you live in Townsville, i lived there for several years when i severed with 2/4th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment in the mid to late 80s. What do you do for a crust?

Regards,
