Cape York 4wd Adventures
Cape York and the Gulf Savannah are considered one off the last Australian frontiers. Located on the northern most tip of Australia, Cape York Peninsula is a wild and sparsely populated wilderness area and is only accessible by four wheel drive during the dry months of April to December. Its rugged coastline points towards New Guinea while the eastern side of Cape York is fringed by the coral gardens of the Great Barrier Reef.
The seemingly undeveloped land of Cape York will surprise and delight. Choose one of our 4wd Hire vehicles and you will be able to enjoy the spanse and wilderness .The dusty tracks contrast dramatically with the abundant river systems, crystal clear creeks and spectacular waterfalls. This is a vast area of unexplored wilderness, magnificent national parks, sacred Aboriginal sites, unexplored rainforest, rugged mountains and swampy marshlands. This is a land of climatic extremes where the creeks run dry, or ten feet high. ( No you can not drive your 4wd rental vehicle through this)
If you love bushwalking, four-wheel driving, wildlife, fishing bird watching or camping then Cape York is the place for you. Our Outback campers and Oz explorers are well equipped.The Cape York region is one of the largest wilderness areas in the world that remains relatively untouched, maintaining its original beauty and variety of sights. You'll be amazed by the 40,000 year old tradition and culture of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders - Australia's Indigenous people. See the unique wildlife including kangaroos and the unusual dugongs. With all this untamed beauty the area offers an escape from the man-made pressures of the city.
You can discover Cape York in a variety of ways. Travel by four wheel drive to the very tip of Australia or cruise the blue waters of the Torres Strait. Trek to ancient Aboriginal Rock Art sites at Quinkan Rock Art Reserve, where thousands of years of Aboriginal culture have been recorded in ochre and clay paintings |
