From Weipa we made good time back to the Peninsula Development Road (PDR). Our intention was to camp overnight on one of the creeks between Bramwell Junction and the Jardine Ferry. Much as the little boy in me wanted to drive the Old Telegraph Track, this is very much the domain of the foolish or heavily modified vehicles.
Still, we decided it was worth a look - and stopped for a photo at the start of the track.
The start of the Old Telegraph Track
We decided to drive the first couple of kilometres to Palm Creek - where we stopped and had lunch. The track looked absolutely awful, with a massive drop in, carefully widened with countless door panels and wing mirrors, before a near vertical winch out the other side. A good spot we decided to turn around - after lunch - and we returned to the PDR to continue our run north.
