Cape York and trailers

Just go there and have a look....
Take each creek one at a time...
If it gets too much you can leave the track from quite a few places to join the main dirt road to the tip..
We have had trailers in our groups each time we have been there and no problems..
Sometimes towing a trailer through Nolans Brook can be a bit like leaving the handbrake on because of the soft sand in that creek but you can bypass that one if you want to.
We have been to the tip 6 times since 2003...

Different every year.

Cockatoo Creek (the Britz is going north, which is probably easiest).




Here is a trailer (Video clip).

I don't have any personal experience to share, but I can tell you that a friend towed his Kimberley Karavan up the Cape last year. According to him, it handled it well.

We have a Track Tvan and I would definitely tow it up there. I guess it depends on the trailer and the conditions you encounter on any given day.

The OTL varies day to day depending on weather and traffic , and no its not as difficult as some make it out to be as long as you use some common sense ,

G'day Steve

We 'did' Cape York last year including the Old Telegraph Track. Plenty of people do it with camper trailers, including outback Jaycos. We teamed up a couple of times with two couples with Tvans - they had no problems.

If you look at google and You Tube Old Telegraph Track crossings, you will see folks towing trailers through most crossings.

We left out campers at Lakeland Caravan Park for one month. From memory it was $6/day but with a weekly discount.

Hi Steve,

If you decide not to take the trailer, your welcome to leave it at my place on acerage in Tolga on the tablelands.

I do recoverys of vehicles from the cape back to the tablelands, and have had travellers stay with us while their vechicles are being repaired.

Drop a line if i can help.

Cheers Col
