I did wonder about the 3 hours!!
We did it in 12hours straight from Seisia to Cairns and there were
times we were travelling well in excess of the NSW Freeway
speedlimit!! (A testimony to the quality of the roads in many places
not long after grading)
But it was due to a medical emergency so not at all fun. The week
spent getting up there was much more enjoyable i can tell you!
Cheers

would take about 2 days unless you were a looking for a RFDS

You were lucky, was that the drought year? Don't encourage these
guys, if something does go wrong they're in deep shmud.
Klaus won't drive up after the end of November, I think he was
caught
for a week or two by the one of the rivers up there. I reached
Cooktown
in January a couple of years ago, but it was a dry wet, and the
road was
mostly sealed. In a proper wet even the sealed roads can be washed
away.
By the way, what is this Brazilian you went up with? Sounds
like some
kind of haircut.

Bah !
I went to the very tip with 5 friends in January 2000, right in the
high wet season. We had no trouble at all with the roads either
going
up or coming down the Cape and it only took about three hours
each way.
The Brasilia handled the trip beautifully even though it rained
most of
the way back. T.
