QLD - Laura, Lakefield NP, Bathurst Heads, Ninian Bay, Cooktown - PHOTOBOMB THREAD
HI Guys,
Just thought I'd share some photos taken over the last few days while doing a quick circuit out of Cairns, up through Lakefield NP, Bathurst Heads, Cape Melville, Ninian Bay and surrounds. Two Patrols, pretty easy driving, although we encountered hot dry winds and bushfires.
I hadn't been into this area for bout the last five or six years and to be honest I was surprised with a) the number of people we encountered, and b) the unbelievable upgrade to the road out of Lakefield towards Cape Melville. It doesn't yet go all the way, but it was like a dirt Highway. Disappointing in some ways, that this part of the Cape is also becoming so accessible that soon every man and his dog will be there.
This first lot are from Laura and some of the Indigenous Rock Art at Split Rock.
Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.
