Sunday 17th July 2011 Hann River Roadhouse to Archer River Roadhouse

Nice easy start today – good thing, as some people (and maybe the cows) needed the sleep in. Stopped off at Musgrave, a pleasant facility with a river nearby, and enjoyed lunch at Linda’s Guesthouse in Coen, under the shade of the 110-year-old bougainvillea. There are massive roadworks all along this road, probably because of all the flooding in Queensland earlier this year. Today’s dramas: Ray had some dirty fuel from somewhere which was solved (more or less) with some cleaning and replacement of some parts; we have a handbrake that refuses to release after being applied. The solution to the handbrake problem is not to use it, but to achieve this I think we will have to gaffa tape it down! The other solution is to crawl under the back of the car and whack it with a well-aimed hammer – this is becoming tedious!
