GCLRO Cape York - July 2007

[Outlaw]

Yes you read correctly people... i'm now starting the ball rolling on a July 2007 Gold Coast Land Rover Owners / AULRO Cape York trip

Current plan from my side will be to train vehicles up to Cairns (approx. $240 one way) and fly up (approx. $140 one way on current fares).

Then spend around 8-12 days seeing the sights on the way to the cape and back to cairns.... obviously those who want to work around those plans and include driving up and back to Cairns instead of train are quite welcome.

I'm still tossing up between trailer or rooftop tent.

So who is interested in all this?

Outlaw,

I'd def. be interested, although I'd be drivin up to Cairns for sure.
A trailer would be a major PITA, and you'd probably have to leave it somewhere well short of the Cape.
Although if you decide on one - can you carry all my Sh*t?!!!

Was planning a trip from Brisie to Perth through the simpson desert, as this has been a goal of mine for a while but also want to do the cape, so if your trip with the club goes ahead I will be in and I do perth 2008. Maybe this could be a club trip for 2008

Although have to say that i would drive up to Cairns, with possible coming back via the train.

Would look at an off road camper as friends of mine have just done the trip in 100 series cruiser and off road camper with no problems on their own, so i'm keen to do it in club format. If you get the right off roader there should not be too much of a drama plus I need the space for 4 people in my car, along with the fact I dont like roughing it for that period of time and my family like the comforts of a off road camper/caravan.

Cheers

Sounds good Bolts... i keep hearing different reports on trailers up that way

Send me a PM with suggested dates on Bris to Perth via Simpson and i'll book it into the GCLRO calendar

Not commit yet but very interested and just got to convince the wife that the crocodiles don’t attack everybody that goes north.

Cheers.
