Cape York – Day 49

Saturday 10th September – Day 49
Well, it is all over, and we are all home. Marg got home last Tuesday week after flying home from Rockhampton, while we landed home about 7pm on Saturday night. It was a very quiet trip home really. There was little conversation at breakfast on Saturday morning when we left Yamba, and not a whole lot of chatter on UHF channel 26 either. It was sad to have to come to an end, but the trip was great.
Hopefully the photos and stories has convinced some of you to take the plunge, and head north to one of Australia’s most wild, most remote, most beautiful, and most intriguing parts of this wonderful land we have.
We really had a great time doing this trip with great friends (family, really). The time went slowly at first but then the last few weeks rushed by.

I am amazed at the beauty of God’s creation and then appalled at how man manages to pollute and destroy. The worst examples of filth and rubbish were seen in areas where the natural guardians of the land were in charge. The wonders of the stars and heavens, when seen in the unpolluted skies of the outback were just amazing. We, in the cities, do not get to see that because of the lighting and smog. I would definately be putting my hand up for a second round.

We all have a better idea of what to expect from roads and fuel etc. Now comes the time for cleaning cars, caravans and homes.

Thanks guys for a memorable holiday.
