We expect to leave Mutchilba within the next couple of weeks to head up the Cape.

We are considering taking a 'back' route to Laura instead of the PDR, (& will then spend a few weeks in the Laura /Cooktown area, as we are volunteering at the Laura Quinkan Dance Festival at the beginning of July).

Thinking of going via Chillagoe & Mt Mulgrave station (have done that part before with Tvan) to Maytown & driving the Old Coach Road (between Maytown & Laura). Interested whether anyone here has driven it & what thoughts are on towing the Tvan Maytown to Laura?

Also, we've looked at the maps & identified a number of bush/coastal spots we think we can camp around the Cooktown area to chill out & 'kill' a couple of weeks, but if anyone has first hand experience of good spots in the area please share, (publicly or via PM).
