The Triton

We bought the Triton second hand in December 2011 and at that stage it was a stock standard 2007 ML GLXR Dual Cab. Our intention with this vehicle was to set it up as a tourer.

This is what it looked like before we started adding modifications.

Mardugal to Maguk - Day 103, 20/07/2016

Image
I was up early again this morning (its my favourite time of day) and enjoyed the sunrise over the billabong that is at the rear of the campground. Once my coffee was finished I returned to camp and the girls were just getting up. Today was only a short drive to our next destination so we took our time packing up and left the campground just after 10.30. We topped up our fuel and drinking water at Cooinda and then continued onto Maguk. We had heard reports that the track into the campground and falls was very rough, Wiki Camps even had comments from a bloke who referred to himself as a "4wd enthusiast" that this was the worst road in Australia and that comment was from 2 weeks ago... We were sadly disappointed when we found a very average gravel road, there were corrugations in parts but not nearly as bad as some of the roads we have been on.

Cape York - Day 27, O'Connell River to Calliope River 12/07/2018

Image
Another transit today, on previous trips we had camped at the free camp on the Calliope River so this was our destination for the day. Anna was craving another proper coffee and wanted to show the girls where her family used to stay in Mackay, so we took a detour off the highway and had a coffee and morning tea at the Mackay Marina. The park Anna used to play in as a kid was still there... We stopped in at Claireview for lunch and Anna and I think we could retire here one day, a very beautiful little spot. We started to hit the road works today but otherwise we made good time and had an uneventful drive south. Late in the arvo we pulled off the highway into Calliope River, this place is very popular with camping on both sides of the river. The area is huge and we managed to find a nice pot looking down over the river. Distance travelled = 541km

We had an uneventful drive to Broome and arrived just before 11 and had a good time catching up with Bryce and Alex and then spent the afternoon unpacking, washing and cleaning. Bryce and I will be heading out to Rudall River to scatter our Dad's ashes tomorrow, whilst we are away the girls will chill out in Broome. No photo's from today as it was just a transit day.
