Jim and John arrived safely in Cape York today after a long two leg flight from Cooktown. Despite starting the day worried about a repeat of yesterdays very strong winds, these did not materialise, and they obviously had enough tail wind to keep going for some 5 hours (230km plus 160km legs I believe). Can’t say too much more or comment on the flight as this report has been received second hand via phone messages. I’m sure Jim and John will expand on the details (mountains, mangroves and lack of landing places etc.)in their next report. I expect they are now hoping that the forecast northeasterlies will appear so that they will be aided in their flight back down south from Cape York! Keith also had a long days drive, heading to Marreba along some sections of unsurfaced road with the added attractions of lots of Kangeroos jumping out (all of which survived his driving!). Ingrid and Jim, John, Keith
