Grog Restrictions... Have a Read.
Thought I would post this up regarding grog restrictions.
Northern Peninsula Area - Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships (Queensland Government)
This applies to the area north of the Jardine. From Cairns to the Jardine we are fine as long as we stay on the "bona fide visitor" roads.

Hope this helps.

The restrictions will really only affect us north of the Jardine in the area shown on the map. When I was last there I usually had more, when we leave Bamaga we wont be able to get any until Coen. I will be buying my limit (no wine) on top of any "left overs I have" for the trip to Vrylia Point.
The main thing is to be fully aware. Don't have it in open view and DON'T drink in open in the restricted areas!!!!!!

So what day are people leaving Sydney? Any plans for a convoy?

The 6th mate, which I believe is a Saturday. Considering the leg from Syd to Cairns is going to be a bit of a rush job, I'd imagine it'll be an early start. I'm leaving from Newcastle so it'll be an even earlier start for me, to ensure that I don't miss joining the convoy, haha.

What's expensive?
At King's Creek the other day I bought a 6 pack of Calton draught for $38

It all gets expensive out that way Clough the moment you turn off the Stuart Hwy!!!! They have you by the short and curly's
A carton at Bamaga will be around $80 from what I have heard.

Jeez, you must've REALLY wanted that coldie clough.
We plan our trips around beer pricing as much as fuel sometimes
Eg. worked out even with a meager 4 an arvo / early evening ea on upcoming simmo trip, me and brother would need 112 cans !!
Not going to happen, now working on a mix of bundy, red wine, port, anything to reduce to need to carry so much, and still enjoy a wind down drink at days end / with meal.
The alternative is buying some beer stock at Mt Dare, which would be pretty extravagant I am sure.
