Cape York is a ‘must-do’ destination for those who are really serious about exploring what Australia has to offer.
Cape York covers a large part of North Queensland with varying topography. It extends from the Tip (most northern point) following the Coral Sea southward to Cairns in the east and follows the Gulf of Carpentaria to Gilbert River in west. Along the east coast you will encounter narrow belts of rugged hills, patches of rainforests and huge sand dunes, while along the west coast there are wide plains drained by numerous rivers and creeks which flood during the rainy season in summer.
It’s not just about getting to The Tip of the Cape York Peninsula but the numerous adventures and experiences you will have getting there - depending on how much time you have to explore. Just a few detours from the straight drive from Cairns to The Tip will make your Cape York trip a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
