| Big Kev with a mudcrab that Tac came across casually wandering around the park. The lucky bugger was returned to the water even though he was just legal size! |
 |
| Enjoying a well earned 'coldie' at the local....... |
 |
| Farewell dinner for John (with his thumbs up) a coworker in the park whose next stop is Darwin. |
 |
| The Sunset Tarvern is true to its name.......... |
 |
| The extreme weather is nothing like we have ever experienced before. |
 |
| This weeks blog sunset is a ripper! |
 |
| Tac and Luke are helping Kev on the tractor to level the site for another concrete slab. |
 |
| I am Tac's apprentice for the day drilling holes for the rivets! |
 |
| Tac is fishing for a barra but no luck just Mosquitos which were so thick it was hard to see!!!! |
 |
| Fishing off the beach at Karumba Point keeping an eye out for crocs! |
 |
| Another species we have never seen before which is a jewel fish. |
 |
| The sunsets are different every night and never fail to impress! |
 |
| Tac is hard at work putting in the new partitions in the amenity block. |
 |
| Edging the concrete to help Tac before the concrete goes off which can happen very quickly in the heat! |
 |
| The sunsets are amazing in Karumba just opposite from where we are working in a caravan park for the next 6 weeks or so. We are part of the team renovating the park before the season starts and the grey nomads arrive! |
 |
| Tac's mate the huge green tree frog who lives in the men's toilets. |
 |
| Tac hard at work screeding a concrete slab while the boys are watching and having a laugh! |
 |
| A row of slabs complete in the park only about 100 or so to go!! |
 |
| My job is a labourer doing a bit of painting and other odd jobs. |
 |
| We left Tinaroo & started the first leg of journey along the Savannah Way. This pub in Ravenshoe is the highest in Qld! |
 |
| Took a walk to the Millstream falls which are apparently the widest falls in Australia when they are at their full capacity. |
 |
| Sections of the Gulf Development Road are only one skinny lane of bitumen. It makes passing a road train a bit hairy!! |
 |
| Stayed overnight at Normanton, a small outback town and had an icy cold xxxx at the Albion Hotel. |
 |
| Tac checks out the monster croc in the Main Street which is supposed to be a true replica of the largest croc ever caught in Qld. |
 |
| The plains on the sides of the road are flooded after a bit of rain. |
 |
| The sky looks amazing with the rain in the distance. |
 |
| A bit further on and the road starts to flood in spots. Imagine what it would be like in a huge wet season! |
 |
| We made it to Karumba a small fishing village on the edge of the Gulf of Carpentaria. It is the only beach on the gulf accessible by a bitumen road. |
 |
| After a great 3 weeks catching up with family and friends we picked up the car and van from Cairns and headed to Lake Tinaroo. |
 |
| Catching those tasty redclaw amongst the trees in the lake. |
 |
| Spent the day at the Atherton Country Races enjoying a couple of cold 4xxxx's. |
 |
| Just had these tasty buggers for dinner cooked in garlic butter! |
 |
| An enormous curtain fig tree in Yungaburra. |
 |
| Patiently waiting for the float to disappear on Ventnor Beach. |
 |
| Tac and Tom with a monster squid.........it was worth the wait! |
 |
| Looking out from Cowes to the Jetty. |
 |
| New Years Eve with a few friends..... |
 |
| .......not long till midnight!! |
