DAY 1 CAIRNS - HORN ISLAND (LD)

Pre-arranged pick-up from your overnight accommodation for transfer to Cairns airport for early morning flight to Horn Island. Met at Horn Island airport by your Gateway Torres Strait Resort hosts for transfer to resort. A two hour Horn Island bus tour, entry to Torres Strait Heritage Museum and hot buffet lunch is included.

DAY 3 CAPE YORK - SOMERSET (BLD)

A day of interest and outdoor enjoyment. An early morning walk to "The Tip", the most northerly point of our continent. A tour to Albany Passage with a visit to historic Somerset, the once mooted "Singapore of the Pacific" (road conditions permitting.) A peaceful shady stroll through the unique rainforest of Lockerbie Scrub before again returning to your overnight accommodation.

Anticipation and excitement as we commence our overland trek. Retracing the paths of our earliest overlanders, we cross the swift flowing Jardine River to Fruitbat Falls, a Mecca for "off road" travellers. Enjoy a refreshing swim and lunch before we continue negotiating river crossings and bush tracks to arrive at Old Moreton Telegraph Station, on the banks of the Wenlock River. Overnight accommodation: Cabin Tent shared facilities (twin share fully screened tents with beds, linen and lights. Gas powered hot showers, flushing toilets and outdoor covered dining area).

DAY 5 WEIPA (BLD)

Time for a guided nature walk along this lightly forested waterway before we cross the sandy Wenlock River. Travel south to Batavia Downs Station then detour west to the Gulf of Carpentaria through huge cattle runs and Aboriginal tribal lands to the bauxite mining town of Weipa. A veritable "Oasis in the wilderness" and providing further contrast to your experience of this last frontier. This afternoon an optional Weipa Mine Tour (own cost) is available. Overnight at Heritage Resort - Weipa (ensuite facilities).

Across rolling Piccaninny Plains, a lunch stop at the Archer River and then via historic Coen to reach Musgrave pioneer telegraph station, which is over 100 years old. Overnight accommodation: Musgrave (share facilities)

DAY 7 LAKEFIELD NATIONAL PARK - COOKTOWN (BLD)

East towards Princess Charlotte Bay and enter the massive bird and animal sanctuary of Lakefield National Park. The waterfowl teem in lily fringed billabongs and huge crocodiles bask in broad river lakes and lagoons. Travel over the legendary Battle Camp Range to historical Cooktown. An eventful afternoon sightseeing and viewing significant landmarks and sites so important to all Australians.
Overnight is at the Seaview Motel (ensuite facilities).

DAY 8 BLOOMFIELD - CAPE TRIBULATION (BL)

Crossing the wide Bloomfield River marks the start of our drive over the controversial "Bloomfield Track". Jungle green heights descend to the very edge of the Great Barrier Reef, with tantalising glimpses of deserted beaches and fringing coral. Through the famous World Heritage Rainforest across the Daintree River, then via the scenic sea road to Cairns and journeys end.
