Cape York - Thursday 18/8/11

Up at 6.30am this morning after a marvellous nights sleep, mostly because Boris was ready for hismorning walk.  Coffee with bacon & egg rolls for breakfast, then a nice shower & packup. 

Craig put the "1300STORKLANDER" sticker on the back door of the camper (as a joke for Darren the owner of Travelander) who we are meeting at Musgrave Station.

Stopped at the Monduran Dam office to say goodbye to Rob & Kel, but we'll be back in a few weeks on our way home to stay for a few nights, because Rob wants to take Craig out fishing for Barra on the dam.
9.45am we're on the road to Craig's brothers property near Yeppoon for an overnight stop & catchup.
A little wedgetail eagle flew off in front of the car as we came up on it's road kill and yes the camera was safely in it's bag behind my seat!
Grabbed lunch on the way thru Rocky and a new drill, batteries & charger (because Craig needed a Nicad battery for the drill that can charge in the 12volt charger we have in the car).

Arrived at Donny & Frances's property about 2pm, setup the camper & showed it off to Donny as you do. Sitting down having a cold drink with Donny and having a catchup right now. Also got to meet Frances's brother, who was staying there as well.






Now the cows have moved from the paddock the boys are off to cut down a dead tree (safety first when using a chainsaw, no alcohol was consumed prior to this operation and safety pluggers were worn).

A lovely BBQ dinner thanks to Donny for being the chef.  Thanks to Donny & Frances for their hospitality and it was great having a chance to catchup again.
