Cape York Trip – Post 16 – Moreton Telegraph Station

Moreton Telegraph Station

 

 

From Weipa we headed for an overnight stop at what was once the Moreton Telegraph Station. All that remains of the actual station is a very cracked concrete slab.

Not sure if this telegraph pole is original of if it has been replaced-restored for us. Still I tried to get a bit arty. The Pole under the Southern Cross connecting Australia to the rest of the world at a time long before the internet.

Cave Creek

 

 

There is a small "nature" walk along which I found this little gem. The creek disappears in a small water fall under a natural bridge that you can walk across.

I think I was also lucky with the time of day and lighting when I was there.

 

The Barra Hole

 

 

 

The walking track also directs you to the Barra hole. A small water hole in the Wenlock river. But it is true to name I did catch this little Barramundi. The hole did also claim this lure and another one. 🙁

 

 

 

 

 

Toilet Closed

 

 

 

Looks like the toilet is closed, and might be longer than normal cleaning. Just as well we have our own in the motorhome now days 🙂

(The camp ground does have toilets, showers and power)
