Monday 14/07/25 we (I was with Karen, & Joe)
got on at 6:15am & caught the ferry from T.I. to Seisia,
had some breaky at the Seisia Kiosk, with a fresh coffee and drove to the Jardine River… the ferry has just snapped the main cable, so is broken down… a number of folk in front go back to Bamagar to camp till it's fixed, so we move up to 5th in the line...of about 60 cars (& vans).
As we wait, Tony & Liz meet me again… the adventure is not over….
We set up our tents. Liz says they've got food to share if we're stuck there. Tony suggested Dr Amen’s book “Change your brain.” on Audible. I want to check it out.
Aaron & Annie from Irelandoffer to help with an oar to “boat” on some foam, over to the Roadhouse to get some food.
I draw Aaron in his spirax notebook.. but didn't get a photo of us, or him, or the photo (rats!).
Jarrod & Jacqui said G’day, coz we were all waiting to meet at the Jardine Ferry.. and Jacqui let me practice my drawing:
And Violet got a drawing in too.
We all talked for an hour or so,
(L to R) Cohen, Jarrod (back), Mark ( back), Eve, Meg (at the back), Violet, (immediately behind me), Jacqui, Emmett (front right) and they filled me with two cool beverages.. Thanks you folk.
Nelle (backwards of her name, Ellen) from Paaratte, on the Great Ocean Road, said G’day and we chatted for a while at the back of the ute…
Then @ ~4:30pm the ferry started up again.. we were the 5th in line… we might get through today??
Over by 5pm, found the trolley around 20km further on, & were “lucky" enough to snag dinner at Bramwell STN Tourist Park (they had sold out, but with the ferry breaking down they helped us out by making up lovely ham, cheese & tomato toasted sangas for us, & with a cold beverage, and a haveaheart… we made it to Weipa…& in bed by midnight! With a lot of fun and adventure inbetween. Yee-har!
