We are 3 blokes, Sri Lanka, German and Irish heading up to Cape in June, We currently have two 4wds going and looking for anyone else who wants to join.

Things to note:
- We will be taking the OTT going up and PDR on the way back
- We have a strict 3 weeks to do this due to work
- Drive up will the slow with lots of short drives each day
- Drive down will be not as slow with longer drives each day
- Majority of this will be camping with the exception of Cooktown. But you can camp there and join is the next day

Oof! we don't want to take the OTT, can we still join.
Yes of course! if you want to join you can
- Come with us to Barmwell and take the PDR to cape. You'll probably get there before us
- Join us at any part of the trip.
- Join us just for the OTT

Do I need a winch.
Short answer 'No'
- The two cars already going are equipped with a Winch. But you will 110% need recovery points to do the OTT with us

Please note the stops list below are not final. We are still looking around and would love any feedback.

Hi Guys - Sounds like fun. I am in Melbourne so need to work on the logistics of getting to Brisbane. I have a few mates in Cairns who might like to join so I will ask them over the next week.

WITHDRAWN from Trip - Reason: It was my 1st time using the trip section and only meant to hit the "I'm interested " spot . But , since then , there has been no call from Hesh as requested and his itinerary is 8 days of 21 spent just getting north to Cooktown . I'm interested in spending at least 3 weeks on the Cape north of Cooktown .
Apologies to Hesh and will be more careful in future . Cheers ........ Johnny .
