Cape York Trip – Post 17 – Moreton to the Jardine

Bramwell Roadhouse

 

While I am having misgivings about the road and the torture I am putting "Clifford" through; have a look at the caravans up here. This is at Bramwell Road house. The junction with the Old Telegraph Track and the Southern bypass road. I don't think these vans were heading up the Old Telegraph Track.

No Gunshot

 

 

I was hoping to use this road to get into the infamous Gunshot creek crossing for a look and camp the night. We did get into the "Old Telegraph Track" about 5km North of Gunshot. The scrub encroaches so much onto the track, and we are tall and wide and didn't want all the extra pin striping down the side. Not to mention the solar panels and air conditioner on the roof. We turned around and headed back to the development road and up to the Jardine Ferry.

 

 

 

 

 

Fruit Bat Falls

 

 

While no Gunshot we did get into Fruit Bat falls. They are really on the Bypass road so no great exodus down the old telegraph track.

These carnivorous plants are growing near the walkway at Fruit Bat Falls.
