DAY 2 CAPE YORK, TWIN FALLS (BLD)


An unforgettable day of achievement and interest. Stand at the very "Tip" of our continent, where oceans meet and where very few travellers visit.

Travel south to Batavia Downs Station then west to the Gulf of Carpentaria through huge cattle runs and Aboriginal tribal lands to the bauxite-mining town of Weipa.

Across rolling Piccaninny Plains and on to our overnight stop at the Archer River.

 

DAY 5 COEN, MUSGRAVE, LAKEFIELD NATIONAL PARK (BLD)


Historic interludes as we visit the once vibrant gold rush town of Coen, and Musgrave, the last remaining Telegraph Station in Cape York. East towards the Coral Sea to arrive at the massive wildlife haven, Lakefield National Park

Past pioneer homesteads with a pause for photos at Old Laura Homestead then via Battle Camp Range to Hopevale where we meet with a Nugal-Warra Elder for a guided tour of the rainforest and rock art site. Learn about their art, culture, history and bush tucker. On to historic Cooktown as we visit Cooks landing place and Grassy Hill Lookout. Overnight campground.

 

DAY 7 CAPE TRIBULATION - CAIRNS (BL)


A visit to mysterious Black Mountains before arriving at Bloomfield Falls. We join a guided cultural walk of this special place with a local Kuku Yalangi Aboriginal Guide.

Across the Daintree River and via the scenic coastal road where your tour will end with a drop off at your Cairns accommodation.
