Fueling up to head south.

Seisia has the most northern fuel station in Australia. It is not the cheapest though 🙂 Fuel is $2:00 per litre but if you spend $50 at the Siesia store - which we did - you can get 4c a litre off. Saving about 15c per litre over the fuel in Bamaga.

 

 

 

 

 

Bramwell Station

 

Heading South and across the Jardine Ferry our overnight stop was Bramwell Station. I can't recommend enough that you make this an overnight stop if you are heading to the "tip" $47 per adult for a campsite with showers and toilet, all you can eat meal, and an excellent live show.

It must have been good we bought the usb stick of "The Bagman" to listen to as we leave the Cape.

Dad if you are following this post I don't think you will have heard Bach played quite like this. Geoff Bagman plays Bach

He played this for us.

The other surprise was that we caught up with my nephew and his friends as they were travelling North on the southern bank of the Jardine. They had all driven up the old telegraph track - something we couldn't achieve.

 

 

 

 

Bramwell Station

 

As well as hosting tourists Bramwell is a working cattle station. The most northerly cattle station in Australia. Turns out the current owner is a Rocky Girls Grammar old girl.

The was a mob of weaners in the yards overnight. Along with this old cow.

This poor strainer post, gate post, tree is having a hard time. Not only are the fence wires embedded in the bark so is the gate chain and now the termites have found it.
