TC = Tropical Cyclone's Larry & Monica

The planning is all done, as rough as it is. Just heading in a general direction, and figure it out as we go along.

We are flexible, and with our 5 star camp who really care's where we end up, and just as well.





Plan 'A' after getting the BT mod's complete, the Tinnie & Tinnie Tosser Mod's and the floding trailer is was off fishing. Starting at Karumba, then across the Savannah Way to Borroloola, King Ash Bay, Nathan River Road to Roper Bar, Katherine and Darwin.

But the TC's dropped a lot of water.


The day we arrived from Thailand Larry made landfall at Innisfail.

Destructionand why Banana's went to $12 per kg, as 80% of Australia's banana's come from this region. No sooner had Larry effects started to reside, and Monica was born on April 10th.


And kept active until 25th April, meanwhile dumping several metre's of water over the top end and flooding Katherine yet again, but not to the levels of 1998.

Hence our 6 weeks touring and waiting out the floods before we could get close to the coast and fishing - see 'fishabout"

Cheers
