Cairns And the Cape, Oct 2018.

Had a bit of a slow morning as some of the cheap cars needed some mechanical work. But we finally packed up and left around 10'ish. We thought we were going to have only a shortish drive to Archer River but it was going to be over 300 kms. The bitumen finished shortly and but returned on and off along the way making a nice break from the dirt road. The road was rough and dusty in places but there really wasn't any sign of the famous corrugations. 
We had a couple of stops a long the way to check the cars on the trailers and finally stopped off in Coen for a late lunch. 

Then it was an easy run into Archer River Roadhouse where it was time to do a bit more mechanical work on one of the cars. Turns out it's alternator wasn't working. The sunset was spectacular so I put the drone up for a look around. 



Then it was time to cook dinner for the group, steak, beef ribs and salad. Finally, we could settle down for a drink and a chat before heading off to bed.
