The Cape

[GBC]

Tks for the heads up all
Fished Seisha before - great fun.
We've got access to Indigenous land at Pomporaaw on and around the Coleman, so I've no doubt about the quality of the fishing there.

Dad had the gear lever bush die yesterday (common 80 series prob) - being fixed in Weipa.

Tha Cape, oh what a feeling. Been to the top around 18 times now. What an addiction. Best challenge is to be one of the first to get through after the wet. Oh the good old days when the Wenlock was a challenge, and you could swim the cars across the Jardine.
So many places to see, so many tracks to do.
Stop thinking, stop thinking, the missus will kill me if I say we're going back again, we're crossing the desert and hitting the Madigon Line next year. Got to start looking at other places than the Cape. Hopefully the rest are as awesome as up there.
You'll love it,
Cheers
