We woke up with to the chorus of birds.  It was awesome.

The plan was to wake up early and the GU plus the Challenger would do the Frenchman’s Track.  We would meet up with the Hilux at Archer River.  We were going to have a full cooked breakfast, but ended up with having snags on bread – thanks for cooking Garry!  It was quite a cool night and morning and it was hard to get going this morning.

We finally got on the road at 8:15am.  We started the Frenchman’s Track at 9am.  The road is a bit rough, but this track and the Northern OTL have definately been the best tracks on our entire trip.  They were both pretty and no traffic.  For those of you planning your Cape Trip, both of these should be on your ‘To Do’ List.

We got to Archer River at 1:30pm and we decided to push on to Laura.  We were leading in the GU and when we got to Musgrave, we caught up with some people we’d met at Punsand and we did the trip with them to TI and Horn Island (we call them XTrail man – sexist I know but woteva).  They are also going to Laura today.  They invited us all to go and have dinner with them at the Pub. We had dinner at the pub, but there wasn’t a table big enough for us all.

We got a pretty good campsite, but the amenities weren’t fantastic.  They’d run out of toilet paper and there wasn’t any room to change in the showers either.  I had to dry and get changed in the middle of the ladies amenities.  Nice job.

Old Mate XTrail told us that there were 27 cars waiting on the dock at Seisia to be sent home.  Apparently they’d all been drowned – maybe at Nolan’s?

I stayed up late to finally get some blogs up now that we had internet connection and I went off to bed.  The wind picked up during the night and I thought that we might get blown to the Land of Oz.  The tent was actually getting picked up by the wind… Scary…  Glen pretty much slept through it all.  There was also a Bull that was walking around our campsite too.
