Seisa to Bramwell Station : 6/10





We packed up and left our idylic surroundings, although we did have to give way to this group of roaming horses before we could get out of Seisa. Horses just roam the roads and through gardens eating everything in their path.

We proceeded through Bamaga and again hit the Development Road for Miles and Miles of Bloody Corrugations (MMBC).
As we'd missed doing the Northern section of the OTT we had to return and do most of the crossings.....we didn't do Nolan's Brook as to many people were getting stuck in there.
Some of our action shots....





After this we needed some lunch and a rest, so we headed for Fruit Bat Falls....a beautiful and safe spot to swim.
We then continued down the Bypass until we arrived at Bramwell Junction Roadhouse, where we intended spending the night. Alas their bore had broken and their electricity was off, so they sent us on to Bramwell Station ( a three hundred and eighty seven thousand hectares cattle station ). They cater for tourists and have basic camping facilities and an outdoor bar and meals area where they serve breakfast and dinner. We decided to have our dinner there and it was delicious.
Anyone planning to go up that way shouldn't miss stopping overnight here.

The outdoor Bar and Meals area.  In the very back you can see some of the Dongas, which are used for accomodation and also toilets and showers
