Itinerary

Day 1 (LD): Split Rock to see ancient Aboriginal rock art then Lakefield National Park to our overnight campsite in the Park.

Day 2 (BLD): Waterlily covered billabongs, wildlife and a great variety of birdlife in Lakefield National Park this morning. Visit the historic telegraph station of Musgrave before travelling on to Coen and Archer River. Continue on to Merluna, a remote family operated cattle station, where we camp tonight.

Day 3 (BLD): On to Weipa on the Gulf Of Carpentaria and an opportunity to learn about this remote community on a tour (optional) of the town and its bauxite mine. Leaving Weipa we travel east through Batavia Downs Station to our camp at the historic Moreton Telegraph Station on the Wenlock River.

Day 4 (BLD): 4WD action, adventure and fun on the Telegraph Track today. We camp at beautiful Eliot (Twin/Indian Head) Falls tonight.

Day 5 (BLD): Swim in the fall’s spring-fed pools then cross the Jardine River to our camp on the tropical shores of Torres Strait for three balmy nights.

Day 6 (BLD): A fascinating visit to the Lockerbie Scrub, an isolated pocket of monsoon rainforest, on our way to Somerset on Albany Passage where you can ponder the past, our explorers, pioneers and the Cape's traditional owners. Now, an emotional walk to the very top of Australia - CAPE YORK!

Day 7 (BD): Choose from a tropical cruise to Thursday Island or fishing with a professional guide (both optional). Alternatively, take your bird book and binoculars for a bushwalk or relax at the beach with a good book.

Day 8 (B): Fly over the Great Barrier Reef to Cairns
