Crossing 19: Nolans Brook
The 19th and last of all creek crossings of the Old Tele Track is infamous Nolans Brook. When we got there it was still
possible to cross the creek. 15 cars later and the creek floor must have been washed away even more. While we had a snorkel
we didn't realize that the air filter box had a hole which, once stuck in the now deeper creek, let the engine eagerly
suck water...
We still made it to the Cape and back to Cairns before any repairs.
