7am – quick breakfast of cereal & coffee, we wanted to pack up and get out of the wind.
We made our way along a track to look at
Cape Weymouth before leaving, but the track deteriorated so we decided we didn’t really need to go there.
Turned around and headed north to have a look at Portland Roads.
Very quaint little seaside town, with a history from the war, when soldiers were stationed there and a big jetty existed for unloading the ships.
We considered having a very early lunch at the café/restaurant there – a friend of ours stopped in there when bringing his yacht back down the coast and recommended eating there.
The menu looked great, seafood melody $26.00!
Being it was only 10.30am and we hadn’t long ago had breakfast, decided not to eat.

So back out to the main track heading south west to join up with the Development Road again. 2.25pm turned right onto the PDR, in a northly direction until the junction with the road to Weipa where we made a right turn to contintue north toward Moreton Telegraph Station. 3.30pm and only about 12klms to Moreton now, it's started to lightly rain. Sky is very overcast and it doesn't look real promising. Yep light rain increased to heavier rain for a bit. Instead of red dust over everything, now it will be red mud!

Arrived at Moreton Telegraph Station just on 4pm, had a good chat to the lady who runs the place Kathy. Lovely lady & good sense of humor. Girls turn to choose the campsite tonight, so we picked a nice green grassed area with a fire place. Jim was making a chicken curry for everyone tonight on the tripod over the fire. Very yummy dinner and Boris was lucky enough to get leftovers.
