Cape York or bust!

Post by vincentvega » Mon Sep 13, 2010 10:43 pm

After a huge amount of work getting my lib back up to scratch I am finally heading for Cape York tomorrow! I am cheating by putting the car on thr train on the way up, then driving the trip home. I am meeting some friends in Cairns, then continuing on from there.

I will hopefully have internet access in a few places up north, so I will keep you guys updated. Wish me luck!

Still quite wet up there at the moment too.

Did you see Grant Denyer's weather reports from up there last week with Cape York Motorcycle Adventures?
