Well on with the
trip!
After spending a week in Cooktown,
Doug decides he would like to take his Patrol right up to the TOP of
Cape York, as he has a camp tent onboard, we decided he would go and we
would visit new Parts of Oz! so we head for the east coast via the
Gulfland Tourist Route to Croydon
where we take a tour of the 'Oldest General Store in Oz' it was well
worth the visit, after we took in lunch we browsed through the store The
Items on the shelves were outstanding, anything from a washer to a
washing machine all 100 years old :)
We doubled back to near Hughenden where we
visited on the way up, but we were now about 200ks North, The Oldest
Australian Fossils, all found in the immediate area of Hughenden and
Richmond, all unique to Australia, in an area called, what was then the
Arafuen Sea, that started in the Gulf Country and extended halfway to
Adelaide. so the dead centre of Oz was not always so!! but a thriving
sea of all long dead sea creatures
