Cape York Morton Telegraph Station 2

From Weipa we drove to Morton Telegraph Station, planning a short lunch stop. A loud squeak from the van convinced us otherwise and we stayed to replace the pivot block in the suspension. There didn't seem much point in going on and we stayed the night.

There are pleasant well cared for grounds and we had a nice shady camp under a mango tree.

The old Telegraph Station House is long gone. There is a very nice walk to Cave Creek, a natural rock bridge, and on past the lagoon.

The site offers limited facilities, cool drinks, meat pies, pasties etc. it is really set up for bus groups.
