Cape York, here we come!

Its been a long time in the planning, in actual fact it was first discussed on our last group adventure to the Victorian High Country, but its finally here. Next week we head off on a 6-week adventure to Cape York.

7 vehicles will gather in Cairns before we head off in convey for a fun filled adventure to the tip. 2 years in the planning and countless hours of vehicle preparation and equipment checks are almost done. 

We’ll be traversing all the “must-do” tracks like the Creb, Frenchman’s and Old Telegraph Track as well stopping in on towns like Port Douglas, Weipa, Seisia and Cooktown. Along the way I’m sure we’ll be faced with greater challenges like negotiating our way through Gunshot Creek and Nolan’s Brook where numerous vehicles succumb to the deep-water crossings each year. If we make it past all these challenges, we’ll finally get a family photo standing next to the famous most northern point Cape York signpost.

If that doesn’t get us excited, we get to do it all again as we traverse homeward via the Palmer Gold fields and Cairns. A trip this far north wouldn’t be complete without a day-trip to the Great Barrier Reef, so hopefully we can squeeze in a visit to one of the 7 natural wonders of the world.

7 days and counting!
