FRESH ROAD REPORT

So here is the main road from north to south a few days ago. The bit down to Jardine river has been recently graded.

Bypass Roads were ok, not horrible. There was water in many dips but not all.

South of Bramwell, the Telegraph Road always had some good dips and this time of the year it is usual that they have some water. Other than that, it was pretty good, not much corrugation. The bitumen bits had some potholes.

Archer to Coen
has also always been a bumpy one, and the unsealed parts had water in dips.

Coen to Musgrave was not very good, not fixed very well yet.

Musgrave to Laura - still a little rough in the northern end, but got better closer to Laura.

All in all the road is not too corrugated yet, but that will change with more traffic. There are roadworks going on, and a lot has been graded, but not all, and not all holes and washouts have been fixed yet.
 

COMING EVENTS

It was already mentioned in the last newsletter that some of the best events in June are Weipa Fishing Classic, Cooktown Discovery Festival and the NPA Cultural Festival.

If you don't already have the Guide - with no more udates it's a great time to buy :-)

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.

That's all for this time - happy planning, and happy travels to those on the road!!
