Question: Cape York

Thanks Warrie

We did the telegraph track in June 2011. It was quite dug up in sections from cars before us, I think the earlier you go, the better.
A trip to the cape isnt complete unless you do the old telegraph track.
Just walk every crossing, and keep your tyre pressure LOW (18 & 20 PSI).

We got talking to a group of people at Bramwell Junction and asked if we could just tag along behind them along the track just in case there are any problems (We were traveling alone). We ended up becoming great friends with them and spent the whole 2 weeks with them and we still chat and hang out now.

We saw a lot of people do dumb things and trying to show off hence the reason they had problems. We have a Nissan Patrol and didn't get stuck once. It was a lot of fun, the river crossings were just beautiful and it has been the best part of our Aussie travelling so far.

You can get to the tip in a 2wd along the PDR but there is no challenge there - just uncomfortable bumpy driving.

Do the OTT and have a ball. Talk to everyone and just have fun :)

PS. dont worry about crocs in river crossings - there are none! Just watch out once you get to the very tip, I hear they can be found on the beaches.

Thanks for that bit of information myaussieadventure. I cant wait to get up there and see what its like. I will be traveling alone too so i was a bit worried about the OTT but its something i want to do. Hopefully i come across some decent people too like yourself.

Plan to give yourself 2 days at bramwell junction.
Just chat to the people who look like they know what thy are doing.
Everyone is in holiday mode and keen to hit the OTT so you'll find someone to tag Along with.
Such a great experience! Trip of a life time- you'll lOve it :)
Safe traveling!
