Cam and Dan at sunset

The Rio Tinto rail transporting machinery across the Mission River

Weipa

Originally, we planned to visit Weipa on our return from the top. But, we also didn’t plan on our winch failing and thought it irresponsible to continue without having it working, particularly after seeing the exit to Palm Creek at the beginning of the Telegraph Track.

The auto electrician couldn’t do the job for three days, so we took an enforced break from the daily set up and pull down.

Apart from the general re-stocking of food and stuff, we took the kids fishing off the Mission River. Dan caught his first fish and was really excited, as was Cam with his first catch. It was good fun.

We also jumped on a Rio Tinto tour of the Bauxite Mine which was interesting. With the advertising of the tour very clearly saying there will be no toilet stops, Dan has the auspicious prestige of being the first person to ever stop the tour and get off the bus to wee. The driver wasn’t happy, as he had to stop and let him off on the roadside where the trucks were hauling which he informed an embarrassed Steve is highly illegal. Oops!

With the winch now fixed, it’s off to conquer the Old Telegraph Track!

  1. Should you select to go for oak furniture then you will need to also opt for the sort of finishing with due
    care, as it have to also go with the flow from the entire space.
    The lightness in the wood will make even the smallest room look larger.

    All of these sorts of sticker styles are now catered for and may be bought on the web.

  3. Square layers tend to look more modern and sleek,
    whereas round is more traditional. Nobody ever said that your cake has to be a standard wedding cake.

  4. Most of us already have a picture of our dream space in our mind, yet it is very
    hard for us to execute that picture in reality. In terms of furniture, chaise-longues, bureaus and winged armchairs are Georgian staples.
    Breuhaus turned to fabric printing, and the designing
    of furniture, utilitarian and decorative objects,
    and wallpaper in the 1920s.

  5. Proportion is relative and elements can be scaled to fit by creating different rooms in the garden.
    a good few inches of sand to sit on also. You can make an intricate system or simply use an inexpensive rock fountain.

  6. Howdy would you mind letting me know which webhost you're using? I've loaded your
    blog in 3 completely different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.

    Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a honest price?
    Thank you, I appreciate it!

  7. One important detail that needs to be tended to about any wedding is that
    of wedding decorations. This may also be allowed for part of the reception.
    There is so much possibility, after all.

  8. I could not have closed on my first home without Mr, Benjamin Lee ! Benjamin and his team went above and beyond for me on this transaction. He handled my very tight turn around time with ease and was always available for me when I had questions (and I had plenty), even when he was away from the office, which I greatly appreciated! He and his team handled many last-minute scrambles with the seller and worked tirelessly to make sure that I could close before my lease (and my down payment assistance, for that matter) expired. Mr Benjamin is an incredibly knowledgeable Loan Officer, courteous, and patient. I went through a couple offers on properties before my final purchase and Benjamin was there to help with each one, often coordinating with my agent behind the scenes. I felt supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to Benjamin and the tireless efforts of his team, I am now a proud homeowner! I would encourage you to consider Benjamin Briel Lee for any kind of loan.Mr, Benjamin Lee Contact informations.via WhatsApp +1-989-394-3740  Email- 247officedept@gmail.com.
