  • Cape Crusaders – Part 7 Sat Sept /2017 – 12,436Km (7,772 Miles) on the Road
    Cape Crusaders – Part 7 Sat Sept /2017 – 12,436km (7,772 miles) on the road Heading east from Weipa we continue our return from the Cape. Connecting with the PDR again (Peninsula Development Road/Cape’s main arterial road) we pass the road sign pointing left and north to Seisia/Bamaga. There is a distinct urge to aim the rig back to the Tip again (such fond memories!) but one must resist and continue the dash south. One night at Coen, after filling up water tanks we decide to take the proven detour via Port Stewart again (same as on the way up) to avoid a particularly bad stretch on the Peninsula’s main drag (PDR) The detour turns out to be even better than before as graders have made significant progress to iron out the few rough patches that had existed. We pass Magnetic Termite mounds by the hundreds. These particular Northern Australian residents build tall, flat mounds with sharp, blade like ridges which always align north-south. They can reach heights up to 4m, 3m wide on the S-N and 1m thick on the E-W side. Despite their name these insects have no magnetite in their DNA nor do they use a compass; they build their mounds this way for temperature control within: At midday zenith a minimum of the mound’s surface is exposed to the sun’s heat. A change of diet from fish to a different type of protein presents itself in passing… Turns out, we still have tons of Weipa fish in the freezer so we, reluctantly must let this opportunity pass.
