It was about 10pm and Finally we got to the main road between Cape Melville and Cooktown, well graded and looking like a highway we managed to open up the throttle a little more, no sooner had we accelerated we found the rear of our rigs wanted to overtake the front, with trailers dragging behind we eased off the gas and lost traction due to what was apparent, a lot of rain dropped during the day, the track had no signs of this much rain and we definitely weren't expecting the main road to be this wet. This looked to be a slow trip down indeed, we sat on approximately 25kph and cautiously headed to Cooktown.
