Tonka Trucks

rainy day, the hinterland of Australia, what to do? Well, why not go to the tip of Cape York. The man has a warrior mentality - when the going gets tough - the tough start, and move him in a stable three-door Hyundai, we recently purchased in Cairns by a zealous lover of the demon drink, a penalty that urgent . pay

Packed to the teeth ever need someone like the Australian outback bush for a week stranded in short we had to do one weekCape York Peninsula, and back!

Lakeland was our first stop, a small Australian outback town neatly surrounded by bananas, peanuts and coffee plantations, with a beautiful green shaded camping and the best coffee in the Australian Outback. We set up the tent, cooked a divine barramundi and lettuce to eat and swap stories with a couple of alternative life-stylers food boxes of sardines, who was married to Laura from the 3-day music festival. Packing away our gear, we had littlesettled in the night, when it comes to rain and rain it did, started the night strong.

The next morning we went north to the small community of Laura and the Musgrave Roadhouse on the lines of poetry, alternating with patches of Soft Red Dirt connecting a distant horizon to the next. The rain threw deep down the filling of dams and stream crossings Gal quickly into a nightmare

The road is deteriorating before our eyes, turning the dirt road of red mud, rememberme on the wet mud rushes to a potter's wheel in the days when I did a lot of lopsided ashtray for all sets of Christmas parcels. The expedition has been constantly falling, it was visions do not end my days in red mud buried under a gum tree on my list of things.

Crawling in the inland of Australia very much, Musgrave Roadhouse, we carefully parked in the increase only in the Cape York Peninsula, so you can slide down again, which slows down an epic journey. Our smallHyundai was crushed like Tonka toys in the midst of thick red mud 'to see how many wheels you have on the road "trucks, 4 wheel drive and large' Panel need, which is to" coach.

I quickly ordered cappuccino, cold beer and all the unhealthy foods I could muster, while the Warriors went after the guests to get the latest updates on the road. A driver had crashed through the side of a fence in the direction of cattle with 10 seniors on board, a few seconds before straighteningCrash and loses only his bumper.

The general consensus is that, apart from the next 25 clicks (km), where the cattle station was the number one danger of the road was not bad, but not in our way the Australian outback, boxing was not advisable, of course, if you could sit down with rain, as in a camp in the inhospitable inland Australia sodden paddock, it would be sweet in a few days.

The courage of motorway service areas had a great Wimbledon on television. I decidedup to nibble my Heart Foundation is not authorized, 100% satisfied with the Williams sisters, so that the warriors around the edges and make new best friends, I was muddy, not to the north, and camping in the paddock, I know was.

Finally, the decision was made after many hours to turn around and retire the weather is as if we were to reach the summit and return safely. Retreat along the road slippery red that was apparently calm, not so bad, my warrior evertried to convince me that the road was dry quickly.

And as we know from the history of these child hood every story has a happy ending. We found a beautiful white sand beach with a hot-grooves divine ocean salty, and not a rain cloud in sight. Here, the Warriors spent the next week to justify the rescue!
