Day 23 – Loyalty Beach Cape York to Archer River Roadhouse (390k)

Although we planned to leave Loyalty Beach around 8 am surprisingly we were all keen to hit the road and were ready early and on the road by 7.30am.

Conditons were good and being a Sunday morning there was little traffic. We had a short wait at the Jardine River Ferry but made good progress and reached Bramwell Junction Roadhouse around noon for an early lunch.

As our planned nightfall at Moreton Telegraph Station was only 42k’s from there and the meal we had there on the way up was rated somewhere between the worst and second worst we decided to push on further to Archer River Roadhouse for the night. We reached Archer River around 2pm although not without some drama as Miles got a flat tyre, which Bruce repaired and Clarkey hit a small roo which Liam removed from the road in case it ended up in our larder.
