You should have no problems, and a heap of fun, depending on your skills level. A weekend 4wd course and a copy of the Moon's
Cape York guide are the best things you could invest in. Having travelled the Cape since the mid 80's, the most common problem I have witnessed is people using too much of what is attached to the end of the right leg, and not enough of what's between their ears. There will be someone come along, if you do get into a bit of a bother, but remember, the friendship will be short lived if you have gone unprepared, particularly with recovery gear. Be careful with the advice you will undoubtedly get before you leave, I shake my head at what I have read and heard, of which some is nothing but b*$# bleep . There are a lot of informed people on this
forum, who will give you sensible advice. Also do not forget to read up on the history of the Cape, it is far more than a over sized 4wd adventure park, it is steeped in an enormous amount of history, one controversial book worth reading is Rodney Liddell's "
Cape York, The Savage Frontier " if you can get hold of it and "Paradise Found" by Linda Rowe.
Enjoy and drive safe.
