RussnSue Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Well Sue and I and the Kedron had planned to spend the winter in Queensland but we got a great job offer in WA and will be heading over there for a couple of months.We'll be leaving Mackay on the 22nd of March and will be going via Townsville, Hughenden, the Isa, Camooweal, Tennant Creek, Katherine, Kununurra, Derby, Broome to Karratha, stopping at points of interest along the way. We have just over a month to get there. We're sticking to the blacktop on the way over as the "wet" won't have finished before we get to WA.We'll be caretaking at the historic village of Cossack while there, so any Koggers going that way, be sure to drop in and say g'day. Maybe we'll see some of you on the road on the way over.After Cossack we'll have six weeks to get back to Cairns, where we are joining up with friends for a trip up the Cape.See you on the road...CheersRuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussnSue Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 so where exactly is the village of Cossack in WA???RegardsHi Kimbo,Cossack is between Roebourne and Point Sampson on the Pilbara Coast. It is about 35Km from Karratha and yes, the sandflies are both large and in abundance. We lived at Karratha for almost 9 years and know the area well.Additionally, our daughter and two of our Grandies are at Karratha and we'll be able to see a fair bit of them.Cheers,Russ.

Jacky Jacky Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi Kimbo & Ned,Maybe you had better delay your visit to Mackay until Cyclone Hamish has passed through so you don't get yourselves hurt or your caravan damaged. No doubt Scott will be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
