Ok people,
Jump in and off you go! The road is
open all the way to the Tip however the Old Telegraph Track is
boggy at this stage, and keep
an eye on Archer River.

ZANE ROAD REPORT
The main road north - Peninsula
Developmental Road - is open all the way north.
The southern parts are dry,
some had no rain at all, some had a little.
Down in Cooktown
end, Bloomfield
Road is open but slippery, CREB Track
is closed, and Battle
Camp
Road is closed (more exactly - the part that
goes through Lakefield
National Park is - national parks are closed
until June so no going to Lakefield this month yet).
Burke
Developmental Road is open and in a good condition all the way to
Normanton.
Back to the main road north..
Laura
River is usually the one to go up after heavy rains, the river waters
are down so all good (it's sealed until Laura now).
Musgrave
had no rain, all dry and good.
Archer
River Roadhouse and Bramwell
Junction had some rain but the road is open.
It's around Archer River and Bramwell
as the things are a little wet, and Archer
River could stuff it if it went up.
So far though, the river is good and while it's a bit rainy, there are
no predictions of major rains.
Two side roads: Weipa
is fine as it most often is, and
Weipa end is sealed.
And so what did finally happen to Lockhart River? I did not get anybody
on the phone but my guess is the road is fine.
Back to the main road north..
Bypass
Roads are open.
The Old
Telegraph Track is very boggy by the sounds of it (if you are there
and know more I am keen to hear about it!).
Jardine
River ferry is working and people are getting across.
The road is open all the way to Punsand Bay,
which is near the Tip of
Cape York, so it cannot get better, it's all open!
That said, there may be more rain
coming, however likely nothing major so Cape York is open for you :-)
That's all this time, if you are sitting in Cairns and waiting, you are
fine to go!
