Hi everyone,
Cape Melville
National Park is now open
for travellers.
Also, Archer Bend
in Oyala Thumotang National Park is
closed this year.
=============================================
In This Issue:
• Cape Melville Open for the Season
• Archer Bend Closed for the Year
• Feedback Always Welcome
=============================================
CAPE
MELVILLE OPEN
FOR THE SEASON
While being on the tracks we
missed to report the opening of the northern part of Lakefield
National Park
in June - sorry about that.

But the northernmost part of the area - the remote Cape
Melville National Park opened
today -
even though they have mainly only cleared the beach from the mess from
cyclone Nathan.

You will only get there from the Musgrave end, via the northern
Lakefield National Park, since the coastal track from Cape Melville to
Battlecamp Road - the Stracke
- Wakooka Track,
is still closed, and what they think probably will be closed for the
rest of the
year.
Cyclone
Nathan
may have missed Cooktown, but it was a powerful
category four system as it crossed the coast further
north, leaving behind enough destruction that they have not managed to
clear it all.
I will keep an eye on its
possible opening and
hope we are not too remote to send a newsletter if it happens.
ARCHER
BEND CLOSED FOR THE YEAR
In
the last newsletter I announced that Oyala
Thumotang National Park is open for the season - however, the most remote
part - Archer Bend - will not be open in 2015.

According to the rangers they have a
bad
section of the road that they are not going to get
repaired, so this is for
everyone's safety.
Well I hope it opens as soon as possible, because we cannot wait to get
in there :-)
FEEDBACK
ALWAYS WELCOME
I really appreciate any kind of feedback
on the Destination Guide.
Please let
me know if you enjoyed it while planning before the trip, and
while using the
information once on the
trip.
If you get any questions
about
anything, please feel welcome to contact me.
That's all for this time - happy planning, and happy travels to those
already on the road!!
Have a great day :-)
Katrin
