Cape York News #101 - First Rains Arrived, Latest Road Report, Pocket Guide Updated November 27, 2020 |
Hi Everyone, Below is a report about the road on the last leg of the trip, back home: Musgrave to Coen was not too bad in the southern end, but the northern parts of that section were quite badly corrugated. Coen to Archer was bumpy as usual with corrugations and dust holes, but that
section also has some relatively new sealed parts. The road to Lockhart was not too bad, no major corrugations. Pascoe was about an inch deep, the northernmost creeks had water in but not very deep. The road out to Portland Roads and Chili Beach had some corrugation but not too bad. The road to Weipa was bad, a lot of the time so corrugated that it was better to drive on the side of the road. Batavia Road was not horrible, but more corrugated than it most often is. Telegraph Road was good as it had been graded. Southern Bypass had also been graded, but corrugations have already started to build in the bends. Northern Bypass was mostly good and smooth, except the northern end, which is always corrugated. North of Jardine was also quite badly corrugated in places. All purchases include two years worth of updated guides and so do the Christmas presents. If you buy before the 2021 Guide is out in early January, you get the 2020, 2021 and 2022 versions for the price of one :-) 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 on the road!! Have a great day :-) Katrin. P.S.
