Travelling the PDR........

We have left Cooktown behind and have started our journey to the tip
travelling along the dusty Peninsula Development Road.  We stopped
off at Laura to view the aboriginal art at the above "Split Rock".

We camped overnight at Hann Roadhouse where we.....,,,,

.......shared our dinner with "Ozzie" the resident
Emu and the peacock.

We have been extremely lucky to have had most of the road freshly graded
which has made for a much smoother ride!

We spent the following night at Archer River which was absolutely
gorgeous we even had a swim as there are no crocs in here!!!!!

This is a memorial to "Toots" a dedicated lady truckie who spent
over 30 years driving trucks up to Cape York to get supplies through
on the PDR in all sorts of conditions.  Often she would cut down trees
to make bridges to get through the rivers.  She is a true legend in this part of
our country who unfortunately met her end in an unfortunate accident.
