Day 38. Weipa.

 Today is a sort of fill in/rest day as we couldn't do the mine tour until tomorrow afternoon. 

Mark and I went on a ride of discovery ~14kms. Found a track and ended up finding the the power station and Rio Tinto mine.

Bitumen 95% of the way.

We assume the track was put in for the mine workers as it goes from town to the Rio Tinto gates.



Not the biggest termite mound we've seen this trip. 
Love these guys antics. Look how dirty they are.
Had to swap n go the gas today so took the scenic route home.
Lake Patricia. 
Lake McLeod.
More swimming and relaxing this afternoon. We have booked a table at the Bowls club for dinner. Our first night out in awhile. 


Cheers to 38 days on the road.

Our grubby van.
