Hi everyone,
Oyala Thumotang National
Park has opened for the season.
Also Mount Mulligan
Station (and apparently shortly also Tyrconnell Gold Mine)
have changed hands,
so
there are changes to come for travellers.
And finally - cheers
from Weipa from our month-long stay in town :-)
=============================================
In This Issue:
• Oyala Thumotang Open
• Changes at Mount Mulligan Station and Tyrconnell Mine
• Feedback Always Welcome
=============================================
OYALA
THUMOTANG NATIONAL PARK OPEN
Oyala Thumotang National
Park
opened
a couple of days ago for the 2015 season.

Oyala
Thumotang, formerly Mungkan Kaanju, has more than
you think if you have the time.
The park is often driven past without a thought, and we do the same on
most
trips, since it's about
60
km even to the
closest camping spots, and a lot more to the farthest
ones.
But if you have some spare time and are interested in remote camping
and fishing, in amongst the dry open woodland vegetation there
are some great
river spots.
CHANGES
AT MOUNT MULLIGAN STATION AND TYRCONNELL MINE
Mount Mulligan Station is closed
for visitors since it changed ownership, and
apparently the
nearby
Tyrconnell - a historical gold mine in Hodgkinson
Goldfields, is to go to the same owners soon.
I hear the closure is
temporary
while they renovate, however the reports about the plans
on a luxury
resort mean that we
can only hope that we can still camp there in the future!

The beautiful Mount
Mulligan cliff face.
But Mount
Mulligan a
luxury resort ???
Yes, it has happened
before. There used to be the Wrotham Park Resort on Burke
Developmental Road,
which was later moved to Northern Territory, and there used to
be the Pajinka Resort at the tip of Cape York.
So it is not
really
surprising and has worked before. The rich will
fly in, and we can keep enjoying our tracks just like we
did
before :-)
CHEERS
FROM WEIPA :-)
And finally - cheers
from Weipa where we are for the whole month of June, and
of course the Fishing
Classic was
great as always.
We hear it has been
raining a
lot more back home in
Cooktown, the weather
has
been good and dry here, the roads have been
good, the tracks
have been great fun,
and we always look for, and find some new
ones ;-)

Have a great day :-)
