Holiday at end of July

[L&L Knight <>]

Actually, we need to know if you are planning to drive from Sydney or  
from Cairns.
Cairns to Iron Range would be a full day's drive.  The drive to the  
Iron Range can be relatively easy during the dry season when the fords  
are low.
I would be interested to know if anyone has done a one-way CYP trip  
and travelled out / come back by the barge that does the milk run from  
Weipa to Cooktown/Cairns.
Regards, Laurie.
