We are hoping to be there in around a week or so. Meeting friends at Forrest Beach for a week then up we go.
Question time.... Did you take your van, if not where did you leave it. And what are the roads like, we were told today that there are 3 graders constantly on the go trying to keep the road reasonable. Did the car travel ok?
Jaahn, I think most of those people in the photos were on some tag along tour. For the whole time at the tip there was a constant stream of people coming and going. Apparently several hundred people each day.
Relax-n, left the van at Cairns, car no problems. I see Cyclops has put up a good road report. I agree that the rainforest section north of Bamiga is a bit dangerous. The road is quite narrow there, sometimes just wide enough for mirrors with tight windey corners that you cannot see around. Coming face to face with kamikaze drivers around these corners is no fun. Often someone has to back up.
