cape york in sept-oct

Well, the wet starts typically in November or December, but nothing is guaranteed - it *could* start early.

CY at this time of year, assuming a standard weather pattern, will be pretty dry and dusty for much of your trip. This will mean that the creek crossings will be easier, but the trip will be less scenic generally.

It will still be a great trip though - just make sure you bring a winch and some tarps ! :+)

Hi Eric, Agree with Joe. We did Cape York last year in August and the weather was fine but they usually say October is the end of the dry. Who knows with the weather this year as its been doing strange things with a lot of rain in the centre and North of WA. Based on personal experience, you should be fine as the wet season ended later than normal this season ie the dry may last longer as well as it seems to follow a pattern. Hope this helps and have a great trip. Linda (ExplorOz)

Eric, I'll be up there in sept & oct and although they've had a bit of rain everywhere is still accessible although Chilli Beach will take a bit of getting thru to. Up to date road reports are available thru VKS 737 and if you ask they'll tell you.

I would be very interested in conducting a tag a long to the Cape that late if I could get at least 4 vehicles. If anyone is interested please let me know. Would be fun\interesting.
Cheers Rob
