Hi Mike
If not going past
Jardine R barge then you'll need a permit for Vrilya Pt at the barge.
The
ranger patrols this very
well, no permit = no stay.
You'll need permits for Elliot Falls, usually self registration there.
Skardon R needs a permit too which you can get at the Aboriginal council north of
Weipa.
I think you can also get them at the mouth of the river when you get there where you have to report in at the Mines Dept, so they know who is about.
Get info by doing a search in the "Trip Planning" section above or best to buy or borrow Ron & Viv Moon's current book
Cape York "An Adventures Guide", an excellent book full of info.
