Dear Birding Ausers
Have had some feedback from a couple of birders and the
Weipa car hire company on travel times between the sites. The car hire
person drives the Weipa-Chilli Beach Road regularly and says it takes her 5 and
a half hours. Bob Cook told me that it took them 4 hours to get from the
Archer River Road House into IR. Clare Blackman, one of the
Rangers, told me today that Frenchman's Road is about 3 hours quicker than the
alternative route and is very scenic, but I am not sure if this is the
route that Bob took. To be on the safe side we will be leaving Weipa a tad
bit earlier!! Thanks for the advice.
I also need to correct the impression that we were paying $250
per person per day for the accommodation. It is $250 per person per
week!
Regards
Judith Hoyle
ps the Black-winged Monarch's have arrived - one bird that we
thought we would be too early to see!
