Day 63: Mon 27 Jun - Mareeba

Day 63: Mon 27 Jun - Mareeba

18-24°, A cloudy start to the day, no wind, becoming clear with strong gusting winds throughout the day, and winds settling again by the evening.   It was a much needed quiet day of personal admin and carrying out a few chores around the van. There isn't much to see in Mareeba, so it was the perfect opportunity for a step back in pace. I went for a short morning walk with Greg, returned for breakfast and caught up on some admin while Noeleene went into town to do a bit of grocery shopping. When Noeleene returned and unpacked the shopping, we both headed back into town to Coffee Works for our daily morning brew with Greg and Wendy. Afterwards, we topped up on some gourmet chocolates (not sure how long they will last), followed by a walk through the streets of Mareeba and a few shops, then it was back to the van for lunch. With the strong gusting winds, I had to re-set the awning and anti flappers, while Noeleene was busy in the kitchen preparing a vegetable Fritatta to be cooked in the air fryer for dinner with salad.  The verdict = very nice, another big tick for the air fryer.  In the afternoon, I caught up on some more personal stuff, then went for a short walk around the rodeo grounds before Greg and Wendy joined us (from next door) for our pre-dinner catch up. Tomorrow, Noeleene and I plan to drive into Kuranda for the day.

Lots of stuff

About 1/3 of the vans parked here at the moment

Lots of open grassy space - not sure how open it will be from next week with the start of a 2-week rodeo festival (Us at the bottom right)

The stadium has a massive amount of seating

Day 58: Wed 22 Jun - Port Douglas to Cooktown

Image
Day 58: Wed 22 Jun - Port Douglas to Cooktown Towed 265km (5,124 towed this trip) 20 – 26°. Partly cloudy all day with light winds in Port Douglas, winds becoming stronger and gusty in Cooktown. The forecast is for winds gusting to 60km/h for the rest of the week in Cooktown, apparently not unusual at this time of year. We drove away from the Big 4 in Port Douglas just before 8:00am, and had a good run back up Mt Molloy onto the Mulligan Highway north to Cooktown. There was very little traffic and road conditions were fantastic  all the way - some of the best this trip. There were a couple of steep but short climbs along the way, but no problem - I'm very happy with the towing, handling and fuel economy of the Wildtrak. Even with about 10km of steep climbing today, pulling almost 3 tonne, we averaged less than 16lt/100km for the trip. We also had a very strong side wind which pushed us around a bit for the last 50km. After 155km, our first stop was for coffee at the Palmer Riv...

Day 36: Tue 31 May - Gladstone to Yeppoon

Image
Day 36: Tue 31 May - Gladstone to Yeppoon 151km Towed [Total driven this trip 3,626km - 3,300km towed]   15 – 27°. We woke to an overcast and mild morning, and a lovely pink sky. We packed up, said our goodbyes, and got away from Gladstone a little after 8:30am, and it was a good feeling to be back on the road again. It was only a short 151km drive to Yeppoon which we did without stopping. The wind which picked up slightly around mid morning had eased by the time we arrived in Yeppoon shortly after 11am. Our stay for the next 5 nights is at the Blue Dolphin Caravan Park - it's quite small, a bit dated, but very clean, and the caretakers are lovely. It suits us due it its central location and easy access to everything we need while in Yeppoon. The large concrete slab is a bonus too. After setting up, we locked the van and headed down to the beach for lunch - burgers overlooking the beach and stunning blue water. Next on the agenda was a visit to Capricorn Gardens Aged Care Facility ...

Day 61: Sat 25 Jun - Cooktown

Day 61: Sat 25 Jun - Cooktown 21 – 27°. An overcast morning, clearing to a mostly sunny day. Winds still annoying at 26km/h, gusting to 41km/h (but it felt much stronger at times). Another huge day starting with a challenging  2 hr  morning walk to the top of Mount Cook with Greg, then we all went for a 32km drive out of town to the iconic Lions Den Hotel, stopping at the Black Mountains on the way. On our return we stopped for a walk at Keatings Lagoon, a wetland  5 km out of Cooktown  just off the Mulligan Highway. We got back to the van at about midday, had some lunch and a snooze, then I set off on a bike ride to a few more local sites around Cooktown and along the foreshore. When i returned, I carried out a few checks on the van in preparation for our departure to   Mareeba tomorrow morning ( We'll be pleased to see the back of these strong gusting winds) . We topped of another great day with lovely dinner at the RSL.  Views over Cooktown and Ende...
