Cape
York is Australia's last frontier & offers the adventurous traveler
the opportunity to experience a wilderness with pristine creeks
& wild river systems that remain virtually untouched. There
are animal & bird species here that are found nowhere else in
the country. (Evidence of the land connection to New Guinea that
once existed.
Cape
York is renowned for it's fishing & at this time of year, rivers
& estuaries produce good results. Species include barramundi,
mangrove jack & queenfish. We have secured the services of a
professional fishing guide who will travel with us, offering a great
opportunity to bag the fish of your dreams. Mario has a wealth of
knowledge about this area, in particular Lakefield & surrounds.
He is an acknowledged expert on local wildlife including reptiles
of the area. Bring your own gear (a short rod is best) we will provide
a 12 ft tinny for use in rivers & waterholes. As well as Mario's
expert guidance, we have included a full day with a sport-fishing
safari up the top.
We
haven't forgotten the four-wheel drive enthusiast. Our route to
the top provides a challenge lasting two days as we negotiate the
overland telegraph track. The Overland Telegraph Line was completed
in 1887 linking the mainland with the islands of Torres Straight.
There are numerous water crossings & opportunities to swim under
crystal clear waterfalls.
Tour
commences at Mossman & travels north on the infamous Bloomfield
track through the world heritage listed Daintree rainforest. There
are visits to historic hotels, spectacular waterfalls & mysterious
mountains before arriving at Cooktown where you can check out the
sites, before moving on to the night's beach camp.
The
next section takes us to Lakefield National Park & a spot of
barra fishing. There are also beautiful lily covered lagoons &
secluded waterways to enjoy with bush camping.
Further
north there is the telegraph track & the satisfaction of meeting
this challenge before arriving at the top.
Beach drives, fishing charters; a tour to Thursday Island or just
time to relax can be had during our time at the top.
After
we make our way back down the middle of the Cape we take a diversion
to Chillagoe to finish. Chilligoe is a great place to end the tour
& we recommend you allow an extra day here, as there are many
things to see. I.E. Limestone cave tours, Historic Smelters. Ford
enthusiast's collection to name a few.
This
tour has a bit of everything, so if you love a challenge - love
to fish - love adventure & are short on time ?
This
could be the one for you.
