Cape York Trip – Post 15 – Weipa

Weipa

 

 

So we made it to Weipa. The road from Coen to here was better than the road south of Coen. Still we did manage to break the internals of the mount for the UHF antenna 🙁

The caravan park is right on the beach and the sun sets over the ocean.

Bauxite loading

 

 

Yep Weipa is a Rio Tinto mining town. Drove past one lot of single mens barracks, and guess what all the parking is reverse in. (Work colleagues will understand this)

Two ships being loaded with Bauxite.

Weipa haul road

 

 

Coming out of Weipa we had to stop at the haul road for a haul truck. Can't believe that I nearly missed it with my phone. It was travelling very slowly.
