Weipa

We left Cooks Hut campground, in the Iron Range National Park and headed to Weipa. We had the option of walking across the Pascoe River, after the river crossing, we stopped for morning tea. After arriving early in the afternoon and setting up tents, kitchen etc, we then had time to catch up with washing etc before sitting down for a couple of drinks and then yet another beautiful dinner.

The following morning the group had the choice of either spending the morning looking at the shops at Weipa or participating in a Weipa mine tour. Mark & I chose to look around the shops, which in Weipa didn't take long to complete shopping at the shops. The tour bus was to be put into a workshop again as the microphone, still wasn't working, but both auto electricians had been sent off to two other jobs, hundreds of kilometres away. We all had lunch in Weipa before getting back on the bus and headed for Moreton Telegraph Station.
