They’re relaxed, surrounded by maroons, shit faced & having a ball…………………………bastards!

[GregMember]

Hope this makes sense :laugh:

So this morning we woke in Musgrave (some of us better than others) we sooted to Coen with very little traffic or dust due to the heavy due over night. Nick, Kram ( the non ice cream getting cruel man) and I added a couple of litres of fuel for the run to Archer river road house. It’s a pretty remote place and we had to suffer because they had no eggs and others supplies so we had to imbprovise when we ordered our breakfast.  

Archer river road house

More roast rains

Some more riders heading back from the cape (from Adelaide) they had a bloke with them sporting a busted collar bone

Nick’s Tenere at the roadhouse

Feed lot at the roadhouse 

Google toots the truckie that opened the tip up until she was killed a bloody legend, her memorial 

Archer River

We kept head down arse up into Weipa, we arrived at the boom gate (not like Wauchopes boom gate when you go back in time) this one crosses the haul road

Waiting at the boom gate for a belly dumper the pass, only thing that passed was a water cart before it got to hot and we needed a drink

Fair size !!!

Weipa we are here

We cruised around having a look at the port

The harbor 

. 

Went croc searching

Old ship thing

Random

Kram yelling need beers

Remember you can tackle a croc up to 2.3mtrs…or is it 1.3mtrs. Oh well jump on the larger one and let me know :laugh: :laugh:

You know thats the same shack we stayed in in 2004 at Weipa.

Don’t get kicked off the bus on the mine tour… :pinch: :laugh:

Last night Kram was in form last night, our cabin is 10 metres long and I am at the extreme other end from Kram. The quieter one is Jacko it was wrong and to top it of because we only had the wire door open at one stage around midnight there was 3 older people standing on the road laughing at our cabin while I watched them laugh I wished I could go to their caravan

Breakfast was cold left over pizza and then down to the bus for the mine tour

They took us out to the mine over suspension bridge in the southern hemisphere some 880 m long

Mined area

Loaders and 190 belly dumpers (that’s 190 tonne pay load)

At the face

The belly dumpers are allowed to do a maximum of 64kph and all the ones we saw were driven by women

Water cart

Recovery party note the water 

We are having a few beers ATM and preparing / loading the bikes for tomorrow

They are allowed to do a maximum of 120kph if a man is driving 😆 They should enforce this rule for all women drivers :laugh: :laugh:
