Mutee Head is a rocky headland and beach to the west of the tip of Cape York. We stayed there for a couple of nights to do some fishing. Joe walked up […]

a camping trip of ridiculous proportions
Jardine River and Umagico, Cape York
After spending a few hours at Fruit Bat Falls, Eliot Falls and Twin Falls we raced up to complete the rest of the old telegraph track and catch the Jardine River ferry […]
Fruit Bat, Eliot and Twin Falls, Cape York
After conquering Frenchmans Track and fixing ourselves up at Captain Billy’s Landing we continued north on the old telegraph track towards the tip of Cape York. It was getting late so we […]
Captain Billy’s Landing, Heathlands Reserve, Cape York
Captain Billy’s Landing is a spot in Cape York named after an aboriginal from the 1800’s who called himself Captain Billy. It was the site of an experimental cattle export venture during […]
Frenchmans Track, Cape York
We decided to take Frenchmans Track out from Iron Range National Park. It’s a very rough off road track that is notoriously difficult. We weren’t sure whether we should tackle it being […]
Chili Beach, Iron Range National Park
There are two things to know about Chili Beach. Wind and Coconuts. In that order. It was blowing a gale whilst we were there but apparently that is the norm. No place […]
Musgrave, Cohen and Archer River
Musgrave and Archer River are a couple of roadhouses on the peninsular development road that you pass through whilst heading north towards the tip of Cape York. There’s some interesting history around […]
Cape Melville National Park
Onto our first remote bush camp for our North Queensland trip – Cape Melville National Park. We took the dodgy 4WD track north of Cooktown that follows the coast directly to Cape […]
Cooktown, Queensland
Cooktown is of course the location where Captain Cook beached his ship for repairs in 1770. We camped on the side of the road on the way to Cooktown and ended up […]
Daintree and CREB Track
We planned to do a famous offroad track, the CREB track, through the Daintree rainforest and it’s accessed from Daintree Village so that is where we stayed. We relaxed in the caravan […]
Cairns, Queensland
We headed to Cairns excited about the prospect of a hot shower and dry clothes after enduring non stop rain whilst on Mt Bartle Frere. Cairns is a nice city with lot’s […]
Bowen, Wooroonooran National Park and Mt Bartle Frere
After Townsville we headed towards Wooroonooran National Park via Bowen. On the way we passed by a little shop on the side of the road where we topped up on some fresh […]
Townsville, Queensland
From Airlie Beach we headed to Townsville which is a surprisingly large city spread over a vast distance. Traffic wasn’t bad but we noticed we were spending a lot of time stopped […]
Back on the Road – Airlie Beach
We had some battery problems which delayed our departure from Brisbane by a couple of days. The auxiliary battery was not charging. In dodgy fashion Joe hooked up a 19V laptop power supply to […]
Getting Ready
We’re back in Brisbane where we’ve dragged the Hilux out from 7 months of hibernation in Phil’s garage. We call Phil’s house “base camp” now because it is the staging point for […]
