Just a thought that is more than likely on everybodies mind heading to
Cape York.
How wet is it. I am going in early June via
Cape Melville. Does anybody know if this is possible considering the amount of rain that has fallen out of the sky this season. I am going with two other vehicles (no
winches) but not scared of a bit of water and mud.
Any info would be good.
Geoff.

Speaking with a client in
Cooktown the other day he mentioned that the water was higher than most could remember it ever being and was staying high and not dropping. (He was saying maybe by August it will be OK)
If you know Kalpower crossing at all I'm told the Normanby river is (was) up over the campsites - i.e up the
hill and flooding the toilets/shower block. - the tea tree swamps the other side of Kalopower crossing near the Marrett Creek campsites would have to be impassable for a fair while (months) yet.
best to speak to the locals closer to the date of your anticipated trip (and it may pay to have a back up destination in mind)
