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 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.
