Early trip to Cape York

We went to the Cape last year, and crossed the Mitchell River at Dunbar on 01 May, some locals were surprised as that's normally a bit early. A few days later all the creeks on the Tele Track were OK (water up to the windscreen on the Troopy always makes good videos)* Still that was then and 2004 is next year, so you'll need to keep a check on how wet the wet is this time, I get the feeling that this year we might get some decent rains so things mightn't be quite so easy!

Best burgers are at Musgrave, Archer River ones are quite good too, don't camp in Coen at the alleged caravan park, go just north of town by the river, the bypass road is somewhat corrugated (!) watch out for drunken lunatics driving on the wrong side of the road.

Have fun,

Cheers

I was up there at Easter this year and there was not to many places you could'nt go. But that was due to the poor wet season. On a normal year you would be flat out getting to Weipa before mid May.

April is by far the best time for fishing either by boat or from the banks.
