From Coen we continued north along the Peninsula Development Road to Weipa. We had been warned the road was rough and corrugated - and it was, but it was no better or worse than many of the roads we have travelled thus far. The dirt was still red, the countryside basically woodland and the temperature outside around 30. The real change was in the sky - we were seeing our first real clouds in what felt like months!
We pulled into Weipa just before lunch, and enjoyed fresh sandwiches down by Evans Landing Boat-ramp. Some blokes from Cairns were cleaning some of the largest fish we had seen - Threadfin Salmon. The Little Fisherman was impressed - but also ensured they heard about his successes in the NT a few weeks earlier.
