Ron and Viv Moon’s definitive guide to Cape York has been released in its 11th fully revised edition. CAPE YORK– an Adventurers Guide, is 288 pages of vital information, which has been gleaned from over 30 trips to the Cape. All of the information has been extensively revised and is up-to-date with the latest information on track conditions, camping areas, access details, alcohol restrictions, supply points, fuel availability and much more.
This latest edition also has 39 maps, including maps and trek notes, with more GPS points than ever, detailing access to the little visited and more remote areas of Cape York. These areas include Cape Flattery, the Skardon River mouth and beach, the Pennefather River mouth, Duyfken Point, False Pera Heads and the Olive River goldfields.
Chapters on Normanton and Karumba, Chillagoe, the Palmer River goldfields, Iron Range and Portland Roads, Cooktown, Weipa, Thursday Island and Torres Strait, as well as the very top of Cape York around Bamaga and Seisia, are just as informative, while separate chapters on fishing, canoeing and national parks provide all you need to know for a recreational holiday in the region.
The details of each and every town and their facilities is comprehensively covered, along with important phone numbers and contact details, as well as many useful web sites. There is also an exhaustive list of travel operators, guides and station holidays, along with fishing guides and pig hunting safari operators. This section and more like it make this book the ideal companion for anyone travelling to the Cape.
