lozza, My son and his girlfriend left
Bamaga last Monday (10th may) for a holiday in SE Qld. He said 4x4s have been getting through for a couple of weeks now. There are a couple of deepish water crossings but he expects to get through in his Hilux - and I expect him for the family roast next Monday.
By 6th June you should be fine.
We leave in late June for 6 months around Aus. but have elected to fly from
Cairns to the Cape to save time for
places furthur afield. We have the advantage of a vehicle to
check out all the spots while we are up there.
Have a great trip
The MALS

I was talking to a park
ranger in
Cooktown on Friday, he said if your going through the coast road up to
Cape Melville he would suggest you speak to them before you leave. Lakefield is still not open to pass all the way through. It is expected to open all the way within two weeks. You can get to
Kalpowar Crossing but no further. We are leaving
Cooktown on the 14th June going thru to
Cape Melville (hopefully).
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner but the better half was wishy washee about unknown people coming with us.
Have a good time
Geoff.

Hi Geoff,
We will be leaving
cooktown on about the 11th,not going through
Cape Melville.Thanks for the info.
I understand how your wife feels,I probably should have meant it is nice to meet other people on a trip of this nature,however we are not actually wanting to tag along.
Regards Lozza.
