The sign was shot about 2 months ago, pretty much as soon as the road opened. In the early days it was shoot the glass insulators on the telegraph poles, now its pretty hard to find one.
The chicken track that you took is the sensible option but every year people get bogged on purpose for hours on the original road.
Every year the local Aboriginal mob threaten to close the tip, every year the govt coughs up more $$ and it doesnt happen. They are pouring money into the roads up to Weipa and RAAF Scherger, mainly for defence reasons...further north not so much.
Found the old cyclone photos - Sorry for hijacking.
