How many Guys are heading to Cape York this year.

Where in Tassie Owen?
love the place ....dad from Bracknell.....mum from Launie....as a kid went many times back there to catch up with friends/rellies....silverback

how many gals?
none...mate thieir shielies/blokes/ guy?????
we are loosing our language to the bloody yanks!!
I for one will never say that word /guy...gal....
WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST SHOVING THAT CRAP DOWN
THROATS??????????????????????????????????????

remember "COBBER'' when was the last time you heard that used? The kids wouldnt know what you were talking about I'm afraid...bloody septics....silverback

um... i'll refraze that.... to Men women and children if that's better, normally i call people mate or buddy but since i dont know you all yet thought that would keep it generic. either way the weather is good, roads nice and rough and fish biteing, shapeing up for a good year

You're right, it's the only generic term I can think of and use it daily when referring to groups of both gender. The term is "Sheila"

No worries "Mate"

Re David post.

We our best friends who chose to move to Tassie. They bought a place up in the hills near but not too near to hobart. No land line no power grid. They are building a cottage to freeze in.

So we are due to go and visit so we may as well look around while there are not too many tourists around (like us). Still thinking about the options of different travel methods; train plane or tow the camper over from Perth.

Gee, its hard to beat fly/drive unless you have more than a month+

Yes its been bucketing down rain here but NOW when you look out side you would not know we have had all that rain. The weather is perfect and come july you could not ask for a better time to be here

out of a rating of 1 to 10 I think your chances are very low maybe a 2

7th of May is a bit early and there could still be some boggy sections or causways with a bit of water in them depending on the season. Taken at a slow pace a 2WD will make it, be it with a few bumps & scrapes. Not going overloaded & having decent tyres would be important.

Alfio, what would you see as the main problems in May?

It all comes down to the weather we have in April. If the rain comes back in then you may hav a little trouble with some of the river crossings.Plus the Lake field Area is too wet as there is too much water, but if you have a good 4WD and all the recovery gear you should be OK BUT I would not do the Trip in a 2WD in MAY
