Eric from Cape York Connections

Essentially, the Cape is open for business from Cairns to Weipa to Bamaga for vehicles <5tonne .
Please keep in mind that some sections of road at the moment still require caution.
Destinations such as Iron Range/Chilli Beach and most National Parks may be another 2-3 weeks before safely trafficable.

Permits for heavier vehicles are still required for certain roads with load limits currently imposed.

Eric, there's a few people headed up your way hoping things will start to open.
Hope the season is kind to you, even with the late start.

Thanks Eric for keeping us updated.
Good news.
I'm leaving Sydney on the 1st July and Daintree on the 12th with 4 other vehicles.
Planning to do the CREB as well but will play it by ear.

We depart Melbourne on 1st June, and head north from Cairns about the 10th - really hoping the National Parks and OTL will be open by late June/early July. Please, please, please!!! Rob.
