Hello from Chili Beach. A humid place fanned by the trade winds. We headed to the unusually named Portland Roads to enjoy a plunger coffee and date loaf. The café owner gave us a potted local history and background into the community. We headed to Gordon Creek for lunch and short walks into the bush. A huge satin ash felled by cyclone Monica was a talking point. We then travelled to Lockhart River settlement and called into the Art Gang indigenous art centre perusing the works and buying items. We crashed onto the jetty at a great rate of knots scaring the passengers. We then travelled to the airport where a large air base was situated in WWII. The pictured memorial was observed abd i looked up the ATSB report on the net We visited the remnant gun emplacements and bunkers. Thence return to camp for another delicious tea tonight ratatouille. Battery power for the laptop is declining so blogs are becoming shorter. Tomorrow big driving day Weipa
Cheers Simon
