Well after 4068 mm in 3 months the roads get a bit knocked around,
Here is the Tiaru, we lost one section of bailey, and are training the river to use the other channel, to make a crossing.

You can see the abutment piles in one pic
And the lost bailey in another

The remaining bailey has shifted on it's central pier, so we are lucky we did not lose that.

From memory over 155 km there are 30 bridges or large culverts

The clearwater, a great spot for the small kids to have a swim
The kerosene, never gets dirty, flows out of limestone cave

Internet is playing up so this is a slow task,

The Ivuli, a big river, they put in two bridges last year, one is gone and the water course changed dramatically


Suffice to say i was the first car it seems to go shopping in Kimbe after 3 weeks, once the rain stopped it took 10 days for the levels to get low enough. Lot more photo's but internet too slow today
I really have little desire to do Cape York when this is part of the annual ritual.92365

Fascinating. Does remind me of the Cape.
