Cooktown to Weipa

 I guess I haven't posted for about a week so here is a giant post of pictographs. This will be the most pics I have ever posted in one go as a lot is covered. The boredom factor may be extreme.

I also have 2 unedited drone videos which I hope to finish editing before we leave Weipa for the tip (maybe)

Cooktown ANZAC park.
















Video, swing bridge.

The catholic nuns monestry in Cooktown is now the Captain Cook museum and it is very good.





Captain Cooks cannon & anchor salvaged from the reef nearby where he ran aground.

Our private camp for the night. A disused side track off a side road in the middle of nowhere, a great camp.

Arrived at Weipa, it was really hot & the pool was great.
