Vrilya Point Cape York

It's over a year since we've been out to Virilya (been there 3 times in total). In each instance the track in was never a problem.

Just remember that Vrilya Point is located in the Mapoon and "theoretically" if you intend to visit on the way up you "should" go up to the Ferry first and buy a ticket which includes the permit to camp.

That's how it was explained to me anyway!

Hi Catray,
We were there last season, August and found a fairly hairy timber log creek crossing with an easy entry towards Vrilya but an immediate sharp right hand steep uphill turn on the exit.
Would be difficult if towing a camper in and more difficult when returning.
The rest of the track was a walk in the park.
That said it is a magic place with excellent fishing especially from a boat at the creek entry north of the camp ground.

We were also there in August last year. The track in was fine - somewhat corrugated but OK. A bit narrow in spots so when meeting oncoming traffic, just need to find a spot to pull over - beware some of the crazy dirt bike riders though - scared the daylights out of us on more than one occasion !!! As stated, the log bridge about 4 k's in from the PDR needed caution towing a camper, but we had no issues going in or coming out.

The beach run (we headed north 9 or so k's to the point) was good - the sand was soft and deepish in places - momentum and tyre pressures are your friend !!

Cheers

We were there last September (2012), and it was one of the highlights of our Cape trip ! The log bridge is easy going in but requires a bit of manoeuvring coming out, if like us, you have a trailer on, expect a multiple point turn to line the bridge up before coming over, the best camping is up the beach which can be soft, however well worth the effort.
By the way, take plenty of water, the Sand Wells are fine for washing but can be a bit difficult to decant.
