cape york

G'day

You'll find everything you need to know by using the search function on this forum and by purchasing a book called "Cape York - An Adventurer's Guide" by Ron & Viv Moon.

Check the members trips and gatherings, Voxson is organising a trip up there in June. If the dates suit why not join in.

Kev

I agree with Dodgin. Get the Ron and Viv Moon book, it contains everying thing you need to know. You will still have question and there are plenty on people on the forum to help plan.

We loved
Bloomfield (Roaring Meg Falls)
Eliot and Twin Falls (Absolute must for a rest on the way up)
Vrilya Point - kids enjoyed exploring the rocks at low tide
Captain Billys landing - windy but enjoyed rocks and caves at low tide
Weipa for a taste of civilisation

how long you are going for will dictate what you can do. get the book and read it first, it will put things into perspective.

We were there in 2002. Loved every minute. Did a detailed trip report up with some photos at http://www.mcs.net.au/~grungle/capeyork02.html

We too are heading up there in May & June and have done a lot of research. As said the bible is Ron & Viv's Moon's book. Site Link
Enjoy your trip, but plan plan plan.
1 hour of planning can save 6 hours of heart ache.

Is It you're first trip upto the cape??

Thanks for the response so far it is all coming in handy janelle.

Hi there,

We have decided to travel straight through and then make a base camp up the tip for about week and then start to head back down and do the tourist things on the way home. What is there to do in Weipa as a friend of ours has done the trip quiet a few times but has not been to Weipa and said that there is to do there. janelle.

i travelled there in 2005 so if you would like to know anything just ask i will be happy to tell you
