Kev's post of you passing through Tully reminded me of this sign I passed on a daily basis.  Just what you need... a sign telling you where you're not going.

Must have been a lot of people got lost if they had to erect that sign?

I spent the day scratching about with a few jobs,  and then went for a ride north on the stunning Captain Cook Highway, and stopped at Ellis Beach Bar & Cafe for a cold drink.    Sorry but I forgot to take the Spot.   On the way back I went to the supermarket to get a frozen pie to have with some veges for tea.  Back home and I find that they are vegan pies,  and that no animals were harmed in their production.   Bugger!!  I had hoped that a nice fat cow had given up it's life for me.   When I opened the packet I find that the bloody things are uncooked and I don't have an oven.   Tea tonight will be interesting.  :fp

One thing about vegans - first thing they do is they tell you all about their vegan diet. Just like Pete has  :Stirpot

Went for a beaut ride,  as you can see.  It was as "enthusiastic " ride up the mountain to Kuranda,  where most of the market stalls were closed,  so perhaps I was too early.   Coffee and a look around at Mareeba,  and then down the mountain towards Mossman and back home on the twisting and scenic Captain Cook Highway.   This great "fang" was curtailed by a long line of traffic behind a slow car that failed to use any of the many slow vehicle turnouts. 
 Some car owners could save a lot of money by purchasing vehicles without the optional rear vision mirrors,  cause they NEVER BLOODY USE THEM...  :angry-old-man-smiley-emoticon
Rant over and I feel better.  o:)  Off to Charters Towers with an early start tomorrow.

Last time I stopped at Charters Towers, I stayed in a unit at the Country Road motel.
They supplied great home cooked meals, (room delivered) was a pleasure to stay there.

Currently only 7 degrees in Portland at 1.30am .... I'm jealous....

I should ring Rentacat and see if I can hire a couple of extras.

11.30am - Minor pause at the Wulguru BP on Stuart Drive, just before the Flinders Hwy entrance.
Maybe an early lunch break?
