It was a very quiet trip home really. There was little conversation at breakfast on Saturday morning when we left Yamba, and not a whole lot of chatter on UHF channel 26 either.
It was sad to have to come to an end, but the trip was great... but I can only talk from my perspective. Sally asked us yesterday ' what was the one highlight of the trip?'. I couldn't think of one in particular as there were so many 'good things' we saw, both natural wonders and man-made events/items.
So, I assume this will be my last blog entry. I don't know if the others will put something else up or not.
So a big thank you to those who have been following our CapeYorkAdventure, and thank you to those who made comments or suggestions. If anyone wants any info, or wants any of the 5053 photos, let me/us know. And of course a big, big thank you to Klaus, Beryl, Margaret and Wendy for helping me complete one of the items on my 'bucket list'. If anyone would like to go back with me to the Cape, let me know as I expect I will do it again sometime.
Hopefully the photos and stories has convinced some of you to take the plunge, and head north to one of Australia's most wild, most remote, most beautiful, and most intriguing parts of this wonderful land we have - Cape York.
Some statistics from the trip:
Kilometres traveled (Glenhaven to Glenhaven): 9,431
Petrol & LPG cost (GHN to GHN): $3267.99
ULP & LPG Litres: 2,759
Combined Photos: 5053 occupying 27.7GB
Food/camp/etc costs: Lots

...and probably my favourite photo,
Well done Mark,I can only dream of doing that trip. Maybe sometime in the next 10 years or so. Your fuel economy is worse than I expected, but you must have had access to LPG for most of the trip as the fuel cost is very reasonable.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, now you can start planning the 6 month trip!

What was your average mileage? lts/100klm? Mine worked out at 25lts/100. Those last couple of days with headwinds killed it, didn't it.
