road conditions at cape york

A friend recenly went from Innisfail to the tip and back in 5 days - he used the bypasses mostly said they were in good condition - he did a small bit on the Telegraph track and said it was slow going - most of the road work was concentrated on the bypasses. Can't help with the creb track.

My wife & I went to the tip of cape York in 1997. The Telegraph Track is slow going but passable.Gunshot creek was so baad that we bypassed it. The worst roads were south of Weipa around Laura. Great trip and I can highly recommend it.

just returned from the cape went through Maytown, up and back on the telegraph track, out to vrilya point,out to lakefeild and bathurst bay then onto cooktown via starcke,then down the creb track.
Depending on your level of experience and if you get a dry run down the creb you should have no worries . I frequent the area a lot and found the roads in great condition this year except where some moron has bridged the wenlock and another fool has dug a new entry to gunshot and where yet another idot has choped trees to make a new crossing at barra and sandalwood creeks. The only creek we didn't drive was the jardine as it was still flowing to deep . But the level of it would have droped by the time you get there. Have a great time. but rember if you do happen to get stuck fix the existing track don't make a new one

Corey, I'm plannig to do the Cape in a year or so. By any chance did you take any Video of the trip?
