The advantage of staying in a cabin is that there is so much less packing up to do, so I was away at about 7:15am, back to the “main” road and then into Monto. Except I never got there. My phone came alive when it got a signal so I thought I should use the GPS to avoid getting lost.
Unfortunately Flossie had a fit of the vapours and took me on a “short” cut. It may have cut a couple of kilometres off the route but on a very minor road that was very slow. It was pouring with rain and some of the creek crossings were covered with water which I took very carefully indeed!
Eventually I got to the real main road and saw a sign to Brisbane which was encouraging. It seemed a very long way but I did finally reach the M1 and crept past Brisbane through the everlasting road works. And then home!
A very good trip of about 5,200kms altogether. The high points were the two gorges, Atherton, Cooktown and Chillagoe caves. The low point was ... well, if you’ve been reading this you don’t need me to tell you!
Good read, as always Jeff
