Cape York Peninsula combines pioneering cattle stations, Indigenous history, remote communities, bush characters, mining towns and some modern technology all wrapped up in the most varied landscape that you could imagine. The tropical outback regions of Cape York offer a unique holiday experience for the adventurous traveller.

The northern most point of the Australian mainland is the "Tip" of Cape York, just 10o south of the equator and a mere 180 km to Papua New Guinea and the Torres Strait Islands in between. The vast interior of the Cape takes most visitors by surprise with endless miles of unsealed corrugated, dusty roads and forever changing scenery. The main Developmental Road runs right through the middle of the Cape and crosses many rivers and waterways. Branching tracks off the main road lead to large cattle stations, pioneer gold fields and hidden camp sites. The locals have a special spirit about them, characters, with stories to tell of good and bad times.
