I am new to this site so sorry that this reply is overdue. Would just like to thank all those readers that replied to my question on whether to take the grandkids to Cape York next year. Every reply was positive and said 'go for it'. Thanks also to the readers that gave travelling tips eg keeping the kids occupied and included their own diaries/photos etc. We are inspired by all the replies and the 'trip is on!'
Cheers

Hi naveb.
When you going?

I am going up to Cairns last week of May 07 (assembling & departing Cairns May 25th-26th) with a convoy of 5 cars currently. We are mostly in the "baby boomer" age category, presuming that you possibly are also, with grandkids in tow.

If you are travelling alone you may want to look at joining up with us for the trip north from Cairns?

We are all from Sydney area.

Hi Naveb,

We did this trip in Jul this year - with a range of kids between 3 and 14 - they had an absolute ball. A stay at the Big4 at Cairns on the way up will be a blast for them - we have a few recommendations (and complete trip report) at Site Link

Thanks Ivan, I can see the hard work of planning is getting lighter with all the replies and advice we have received. About to sit back and watch your slideshow. We are really looking forward to our trip.
Cheers
