Cape York 3 Weeks Duratsion - June 2010

Hi GP.
No better place to start then this site.
It has a wealth of information.
Cheers.

As previous poster says this site has a wealth of experience and information

I did this trek last year from Wagga and it was great - wether you could do it in 'just' 3 weeks might attract some interesting 'debate' from some on the site :-)))


I reckon from Brisbane you could do this trek - or most of it anyway - in 3 weeks and still have taken enough time to enjoy it

Cape York trek notes

If you need any 'additional' information please feel free to ask

We went this year. Melb - Tip - Melb in 4 weeks.

This site will be invaluable

Also take a look at my blog (through my profile page). Which also has links to some other sites I found helpful in planning our trip.

When you get to Cairns check if the CREB Track is open. Take the Coast Road to the Daintree and take the CREB Track through to Ayton. Continue up to have a night or two in Cooktown. From Cooktown take the Hopevale Rd to the Battle Camp Road and Head West over to Old Laura and then North up through Lakefield. Spend a night or two at one of the Camp sites on the Rivers. Exit lakefield West on to the Marina Plains Rd and head over to Musgrave. From Musgrave head North up the PDR to the Telegraph track.

All the above is worth seeing and not to be missed. Cheers

If you think it would be of assistance I have a fairly comprehensive Excell spreadsheet that I created for my Cape trip last year - which if nothing else will just go to show you how much spare time I must have if I can spend time setting up this spreadsheet :-))

If you would like it give me your e-mail and I will get it to you

I also found this Cape Yorker Forum helped with 'local' info


and this Current Road conditions

and this site Far North Traffic information

and this helps with understanding the transport of alcohol etc Alcohol rules

that should give you enough info to get you going :-) :-)

oh - and you will need to consider what permits you are going to need - nut thats another story

cheers KA

have a read of post 74822, and especally Ivan (ACT) post and website....some great info in that trip of his. I found in very interesting, and a lot of do's and do not do's...

G'day GP

I've found the Cape York guide by Viv & Ron Moon useful in planning for our trip in July/August this year. It's available on this site for $29.95 (11th edition). Beware other sites selling older editions for less.
