Thread: cape york in a D2

In relation to fuel prices. We paid $2.36 a litre in Bamaga last year. No sure if it's any different this year but the trip is well worth what you pay for it. The Frenchmans Track is a huge bonus and equally as good as the Tele Track. If you have the time, go into Varylia Point/Beach. It;s the jewel in the crown of the Cape and great fishing as a bonus. Just be self sufficient on that leg.

I really think that it will not be too wet. We haven't had a good wet season up here. Had some friends from work do the CREB in January. Normally that would not be possible but they said dust was more of a problem than mud.
When we did the Cape last year it was closed on our way up in late June and still closed in late July on our return. Changes from year to year depending on our wet seasons.
The Bloomfield Track (road) is over estimated and hardly worth the time unless you really want to see the Daintree. It can be done in a high clearance non 4wd vehicle once the wet is over and in my opinion is not worth the effort.
If your going to the Cape you will hardly remember the Bloomfield once the trip is over.
Lions Den and Trevethan Falls are far better detours.

Just my dollars worth.

Cheers, Rick.
