Carl’s Hilux
In case you thought I was exaggerating about the majority of vehicles in the Cape being white Toyota Hiluxes with dog cages on the back…
Cape Trucks
Boat ramp Weipa car park
The Albatross Motel car park – I don’t know where that red car came from, but you can see how they stick out
Weipa airport hire cars
And at the Weipa Airport you have a choice of cars to hire:
A white Hilux
or a white Hilux
or a white Hilux
or a white Hilux…
Anyway, you get the idea.
The tow truck driver (that’s another blog story) told me everyone on the Cape drives Toyota Hiluxes or Landcruisers because they are the only ones he never has to tow, i.e. they are bulletproof, and when you are 200k or 300k from the nearest settlement, bulletproof is good.
