Travel to CapeYork

Try this site: Cook Shire Council.

And you could also ring the rangers at Cooktown.

For any 4wd trips and travel my first point of contact is someone or an organisation that is local to the area that I am going to. In this case Google quickly gave me the local council.

When we went up there I actually spoke to the local engineer. Not to a status board or the front counter. I hope this helps. I take note of the status boards etc but a bit of personal chat goes way beyond what you will find on the dumb internet.

When we travelled throught FNQ (including taking offroad camper trailer and Patrol to Cape York), we used the RACQ road conditions site. We found the information up to date and very helpful. I haven't had any need to look at recently, but can see it is still active/live.
