I just got home from the Cape at 5pm this arvo left Bamaga airport 3.30 pm yesterday. 14 hours drive time. Took 9 days to travel up in 2 trucks with 19 tourists with 6 in my 100 Series They all flew out of Bamaga and 12 more flew in today so my car wasn't needed, drove home empty. Leave for next trip on the 15\7 14 day up and back. Roads are good, fair bit of roadwork just south of Laura. Creeks are all low. Road to Weipa very good as is north of the Jardine. Drive to the conditions you will have no problems. Bumped into Eric at Seisha and again at the tip.Cheers Rob.

Just got back from Cape York Wednesday a bit wetter and cooler than last time we were up there a few years ago, but no problems, the Gunshot is a bit of a mess we went out to Captain Billys landing this time, the road was good,I think we seen the Exploroz team heading north on the Bypass Rd as we were coming out. If your going out to Cape Melville go in through Lakefield and come out the same way, we came across heaps of bogs heading south towards Cape Flattery,but that was a couple of weeks ago now so it may have dried up, we stayed at Punsand Bay I highly recommend the Saturday night All you can eat Seafood Night for $55 a head, no crumbed stuff or chips. Crossed the Pascoe on the Frenchmans Track, fast and deep but we all got through no problems. It's amazing how tracks and river/creek crossings can change from year to year. Chilli Beach and Portland Roads are worth a visit. Enjoy your trip

Palm Creek coulldn't have been to bad as it didn't stick in my mind, we went through that many creek crossings only the hairy ones come to mind. As far as the Gunshot goes it all depends on what you call the easy entry, last time we were there there was a crossing to the right that took you along the creek and one to your left that was just a slight grade, well both of them are gone there was 3 entries to choose from 2 were the vertical ones and the one we chose as we were towing a trailer was OK a bit slippery, I wouldn't like to have to tow the trailer up it, but it would have dried out a lot by now, we came back a different way so we didn't find out how difficult it would be heading south.
