    Cains and back took us 2 weeks and that was not long enough..you will not see enough of the realy good stuff..... You can not drive to Chilli Beach without a HIGH clearence vehicle .....not to mention the river crossings....Weipa...the mine trip is a must so that is 2 nights spent there...I can do on forever..........sugest Fraser Is and pretend......until you can spare the longer time up the cape.....

    Hey mate good to here you are heading up too. We should cross paths somewhere or when you are close try my mobile or radio I will PM you the numbers. I have managed to squeeze some more time in to make the trip more managable. Here is my plan of attack.

    1st -4th drive to noosa and hang out with family ( wife flying to noosa with baby).

    4th-6th drive to Cairns ( Wife flying to cairns with baby)

    6th-8th treat wife in palm cove hotel before tenting it.

    8th-22nd ish cape and back to cairns.

    I Will PM you a more detailed itenary for my trip.

    Catch ya mate.

    Will

    Ok although it was some 24 yeasr ago our trip to Cape York took,
    3 days to Cairns,
    4 days exploring Cairns, Port Douglas, Cook Town
    4 weeks up the Cape , went everywere we could
    Then back to Cairns
    2 weeks exploring on the way home inland

    The more time you have the morethere is to enjoy. realy think you need more time , it is or was a wonderfull place and assume it still is.
    Have a realy good time.
    Rob

    Thanks Will, got the details. I'll definitely be in touch if I go to the tip, we'll probably cross paths on your return. Rob, you probably sped past me 24 years ago, thats when I was up FNQ for 6 months. I've never done a quick run like this before - not my ideal but better than nothing.
