Cape York | Hann River Road House to Bramwell Junction

In this episode, we continue our journey to the northernmost tip of Australia, the iconic Cape York! Leaving Fairview Station, we head north up the Peninsula Development Road (PDR) to our first stop at the Hann River Roadhouse. From there, we head to Musgrave Station for lunch, then continue through Coen to the Archer River Roadhouse. We stayed at Archer River Roadhouse for the night, then continued on to Bramwell Junction Roadhouse, the starting point of the legendary Old Telegraph Track.

Ahhh, takes us back when we did it in a rooftop tent with a 10month old! Love it!🙌🏽

[@VetinaVan]

@GrabLifeByTheGourlays damn, you guys were keen! We wanted to get it done before the new baby arrived! Not sure if the new truck will be too big for the old tele! Hope you guys are travelling well. 👍👍🍻🍻

@@VetinaVan Well Deb found out she was preggers with Emily the day before we left! We are travelling well thanks!👊🏽How good is it after the grader's been through? We thought the PDR corrugations were bad when we went through until we just did the Gibb! Awesome episode guys!

@craigtomkinson2837 thanks mate, it's a great part of the country. And we got some great contacts for next time. Hopefully to get out to the remote communities to do some animal management work. 👍👍

[@Scalihoo]

Nice job..love your rig I would be confident taking on those tracks with that set-up..🚙🚙

[@VetinaVan]

@Scalihoo yup the cruiser and lotus ate up the PDR no dramas, would have loved to have done some more of the old telegraph track but we didn't organise a convoy. Leave something for next time! 🍻🍻🍻

For some bizarre reason the idea of doing The Cape when it's wet appeals to me. Not sure why. Doubtless cleaning the first couple of inches of red mud off everything would soon rid me of that compulsion! I didn't realise the PDR had so much black top though. We'd be inclined to relax and take our time too and just see what the place has to offer. It must have been so tempting to try to break the speed record, your vehicle/van, and/or the record for the highest towing bill by belting through that water crossing - how on earth did you resist? 🙄 Love the 'hamster cupboard' (of course) and we are frequent users of the term: 'to hamster away' in our own pantry. Looking forward to the next one. Safe travels.

@contributor7219 we are far tp boring to do any of that 'cool' stuff!! We love just taking our time nice and slowly, never in a rush to get anywhere. So much easier in the car and van if you take things slow! Although sometimes it is tempting to 'send it', however, common sense usually prevails! 😀👍

Camera definition too low, blurs the video annoyingly in parts.

[@VetinaVan]

@bobr6555 Thanks Bob, which bits were blury, the video is in 4k resolution, so could be KZbin crunching it down if bandwidth is slow on your device?
