You hear so many stories of woe coming from Cape York. While we were in Lakefield National Park, we met a group of 4WDers who were on their way south. Coming through a dip in the road, one of the drivers had become complacent and didn’t slow down. He said, “The road just dropped out [...]

It has been just over 13 weeks since we left Sydney and not since then have I felt the same sense of anticipation as the day we drove north out of Cairns. With the Big C finally in our rear-vision, we had left behind the last of the big eastern coast cities and were headed [...]

Isolated showers and morning drizzle with a chance of thunder in the evening and high winds. That basically summed [...]

We make this post from the remote, dangerous and uncharted Gold Coast (http://fms.ws/4nqYT), but a lot has happened since our last update.
