Pretty good trip so far really. AJ was right, canal creek is definitely nicer campsite than Elliot Falls. Dad and I ducked out at the last bypass track before Nolans. The other 4 did it. They all had to get pulled through though, no one was driving it. Luckily the last guy in the group before them started ours off. Just in the first day here at loyalty we came across 6 different groups talking about cars being drowned there. There's apparently I bit of a hole that stops everyone and the ones who aren't prepared with their recovery gear are the ones losing their cars. A couple of young kids in hilux's lost 2 there from their group.
Other than that, not a lot of issues. One car lost some bolts from the exhaust manifold (easily replaced with spares) and had a fridge move coming out of gunshot and smash out the side cargo area window. All taped up and good to go now though. Dad's new compressor wouldn't turn off one night after blowing out the air filter so we had to pull the fuse on it. Put it back in the next morning though and it's been fine ever since. I've got a few new bends in the factory side steps (good excuse to upgrade) and I had to clean the terminals on the winch to get it going again (could have been avoided if I checked it before I came though).
Other than that, it's been a cracker of a trip so far and so worth it when you sit at the bar and watch the sunset

bit jealous too!
with Nolans brook was there an entrance to the left of the one you took? I ask because when I did it 5 year back there was and that one was driveable if you kept hard left, every one that used the entry you did needed help.
great effort guys

I hadn't really noticed but you're right, we are a pretty colourful group now you mention it. Could have had a bit more colour if we took it ten minutes later. Dad fell over as we started to climb back and took bark off everywhere rolling back down the hill. He's fine now though I daresay he'll be sore tomorrow. Could've added a nice splash of red to the photo though.Originally posted by Anth120playdo View PostNice work mr,

Yes, sorry, Dane wasn't keen on sitting around for a break like the rest of us and drove it no worries the day before, then came back to tell us all how easy it was. Couldn't convince me though, especially with the wife riding shotgun.Originally posted by DaneH View PostHey, for the record, i drove it the first time.

Sorry to those who we didn't get to say hooray to when we left "couldn't find you guys" anyway thanks to all of you for a wonderful trip and being part of some incredible memories I now have.
Hope you guys enjoy Weipa and have a safe journey back south
Again... MASSIVE thanks from Chloe, Sam, Josh and myself for an amazing trip and I hope we see you all on another adventureComment

Left Loyalty Beach today for Weipa for 2 nights. Had to stop at the bakery at Bamaga though to fuel up for the trip. Crayfish pies for breakfast weren't my preference but a few indulged. Only 4 of us left now.
