Heading to Cape York beginning July

Hi Twinkles, the best, authoritative and most up-to-date website that I know of for Cape York roads is Cook Shire Council.

some pretty current pics here of some guys off of another forum... http://forums.overlander.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=70649
they were doing a Misers trip, where they set a limit of $3000 (not set in stone) to buy their vehicles and for fuel usage on the trip.

Hi Twinkles,

if you have a well prepared vehicle and trailer the Old Telegraph Line is not too hard. Nolans Brook is probably the deepest crossing and the one that catches out the most people.

Gunshot has plenty of options for everyone so have a look at it, at least. Canal Creek can be tricky on the exit. All the crossings are different.

Take your time and watch others go through the crossings, if you can. If you go up there during the school holidays, expect it to be fairly busy.

The main roads are generally in good condition and you'll find grader crews everywhere.

Have fun and enjoy your time there. Wish I was heading up there now.

eighty matey.
