DAY 1 CAIRNS - CAPE TRIBULATION - COOKTOWN (LD)

Early morning pick up from your Cairns accommodation. Through the pristine Daintree Rainforests and over the soaring verdant heights of the Bloomfield Track to Cooktown. A step back in time as we explore the historic old port.

DAY 2 LAKEFIELD NATIONAL PARK (BD)

A morning of sightseeing and viewing significant landmarks and sites so important to all Australians. Via the rugged Battlecamp Range, pioneer cattle stations and the old coach road to arrive at the massive wildlife haven, Lakefield National Park.

DAY 3 MUSGRAVE - COEN – ARCHER RIVER (BLD)

Historic interludes as we visit the last old Telegraph Station, Musgrave, and the once vibrant gold rush town of Coen, before reaching our overnight stop at the Archer River.

DAY 4 IRON RANGE NATIONAL PARK (BLD)

Cross the Wenlock and Pascoe Rivers before entering Iron Range National Park via Tozers Gap.
The park features the largest area of tropical lowland rainforest remaining in Australia. Rare fauna and flora include cuscus, palm cockatoos, eclectus parrots, green pythons, palms and orchids. There is also impressive coastal and mountain range scenery. Overnight camp in Iron Range for 2 nights.

DAY 5 PORTLAND ROADS - CHILLI BEACH - WW2 SITES (BLD)

An exiting day visiting significant historical sites and breathtaking coastal scenery. Portland Roads, once a vital sea port for miners and the wartime airfields, now affords the locals a relaxed lifestyle in an idyllic tropical setting. War time gun emplacements are silent sentinels around the headland, some are homes to the locals at the 'Roads. Chilli Beach is wide and long and fringed with palms. A truly magical spot overlooking Restoration Island, Blighs first landing point in 1792. We explore and learn about the gold workings of the 1930's and the area around the airfield at Iron Range where there were major military installations. Anti-aircraft batteries, air raid shelters, the bakery complex and hospital site are a few to visit. Overnight Iron Range.

DAY 6 BATAVIA GOLDFIELDS - WEIPA (BLD)

Travel West to visit the old Batavia (Wenlock) Gold Fields, an abandoned mining town. Then travel North by West across Piccaninny Plains and boundless savannah to Weipa, on the Gulf of Carpentaria. A veritable "Oasis in the wilderness" and providing further contrast to your experience of this last frontier.

DAY 7 WENLOCK RIVER - MORETON STATION (BD)

In the cool of the early morning, an optional Weipa Mine Tour (own cost, as is lunch). With the Gulf of Carpentaria behind us, we pass through huge cattle runs to arrive at the fast flowing Wenlock River. Perhaps a cooling swim before setting up for our overnight camp at Old Moreton Telegraph Station.

DAY 8 TELEGRAPH TRACK - TWIN FALLS (BLD)

A really challenging route today as we ford fast flowing streams and traverse rugged 4WD tracks to overnight at the ideallic Twin Falls.

DAY 9 JARDINE RIVER - PUNSAND BAY (BLD)

Across the free flowing Jardine, a brief refuelling stop at Bamaga and then onto our northern base camp.

DAY 10 THURSDAY ISLAND (BD)

DAY 11 CAPE YORK - SOMERSET (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. Somerset, the ruins of the grandiose failed 'Singapore of the Pacific' (road conditions permitting). Pristine beaches, rocky headlands, cool shaded forest walks, and twilight strolls to watch a spectacular Torres Strait sunset.

DAY 12 PUNSAND BAY - BAMAGA - CAIRNS (BL)

A more leisurely morning, with perhaps a stroll along the deserted beach before a 4WD transfer to Bamaga, a short absorbing tour of this Aboriginal and Islander Community, before boarding the flight to return to Cairns. Hotel transfers on arrival in Cairns completes your holiday.
