RAVENSHOE

We've been out of range of all telecommunications in this vast place.  Even Telstra isn't available. We left Branston Beach and headed for the Savannah Way which takes us from the east coast to the start of the Gulf of Carpentaria. As I'm posting we are half way to the Gulf.

 It's the highest point in Queensland and the temperature plummeted to a freezing 17 degrees!!!! We had to make a purchase of warm gear.  The broken window behind us was the 3rd in as many weeks which is apparently unusual for this part of the world and the shop owner reckons it was to get police attention to  ensure a warm place to sleep.....unemployment thanks to the GFC is high up this end of the world.

PATHETIC HEY?

MAIN STREET, RAVENSHOE

However, 2 klms on from town is the most gorgeous water hole. Little Millstream Falls. The water was quite warm for mountain water ....bit too chilly to remove clothing!
