Weipa

We were unsure about when or if to visit Weipa on the ‘trip to the tip’, however the shattered window made that decision easy for us. Whilst the car is in having the window replaced Jamie and I are just taking a well earned break from red dust removal. Dust proofing our van is proving to be a challenge. No matter where we tape or put additional rubber seals the dust still gets in. We tried to get an air pressure stabiliser installed but were not able to get this done before leaving Cairns…. Or even anytime this year according to the person on the phone☹️ Today when I got my clean clothes out of the draw I realised they weren’t really so clean. Oh well…….a bit of a dust off will do! . No point washing it all until the dust is behind us. 🤣
The weather is lovely about 30oC but there is a bit of smoke around as they are burning off bush. Not a lot to do in Weipa so a fair bit of footy and com games were watched. A scooter ride around town ended with a flat tyre. ☹️
Although a lot of the road into Weipa is sealed, some of the unsealed sections were pretty rough. We ended up driving for long stretches off to the side avoiding the white posts and road signs when they appeared. This is much better in parts and no better in other places. At least our window didn’t collapse.
The caravan park is lovely so a nice place to chill. It seems we,but more often I, am getting used to chilling out.
A quick catch up with Michael Cousens before he started his night shift was a great blast from the past. Thanks Michael for dropping by.Read more
