Six of my mates all bought adventure bikes to head up to Cape York the northern most tip of Australia. Four rode up last Monday week from Brisbane to Cairns with the last two flying up Friday due to work commitments as they had shipped there bikes up ahead of time. With a late cyclone being up in the top end we ( the jealous ones stuck at home) were sure that they wouldn’t be able to get through as it would be too wet with all the creek crossings too flooded. As it turned out they made great time and were all enjoying themselves immensely and were almost to Bamaga when two unfortunate incidents occurred. Both the fly ins ended up injuring themselves, one with a crushed/ broken foot and the other with a torn knee. Luckily there was a 4wd camping tour bus that was able to give them and their bikes a ride back to Cairns ( 2 day trip) so that they could have proper medical assistance.
