June 2021 – Travel Expenses

This month was spent in Cape York. Because of the remote location we had a full fridge and pantry before we left, so didn’t need to buy as many groceries this month.

Accomodation costs are higher than usual. Even unpowered sites are usually over $20 in Cape York (our preferred price range) but we are very happy to pay the higher prices in such a remote area.

We needed a gas bottle refill at Bamaga and paid $65.00. This is our highest ever price paid for gas, but with camping unpowered and a 3 way fridge, we had no choice.

We had an unexpected cost this month when our son became critically ill and was admitted to Intensive Care. We flew home from Cairns to be with him and have left our car and caravan up North. We are staying with family while we visit him daily. Our overall weekly cost is higher than usual because of this.
