Full Tour Itinerary
-
(Day 1) Meet up at Centenary Park, Nautilus St Trinity beach for briefing. Lets go we’re heading north our first stop will be Rex’s lookout for some pics of the spectacular views. Back on the bikes to the Daintree Ferry terminal. Eyes on the water we might see a croc passing by. The Daintree Village, we will stop for some lunch before we tackle. Option 1 – The Creb track (inland): This 71km track is slippery, muddy with steep ups and downs and water crossings with great views in the heart of the rain forest, the Creb is only open in the dry season almost impossible when wet. Or Option 2 – The Bloomfield Track (the coastal road): 31km of rough unsealed rd with steep inclines, descents and creek crossings, quick refreshment stop at Wujal Wujal. (Accommodation: The Lions Den)
(Day 2) Up early for a cooked breakfast then we’re off to explore Cooktown and the awesome view from Grassy Hill Lookout. Then we have a long ride ahead of us through the Lakefield National Park. Musgrave was first built as an overland telegraph station in 1887, Musgrave is about half way between Cairns and “The Tip” so has been the resting place for many travellers. (Accommodation: Musgrave station)
(Day 3) The Roadhouse is famous for the massive Archer Burger, which can be enjoyed with an ice cold beer. (Accommodation: Archer River)
(Day 4) Located at the road junction of the Bamaga road and the start of the famous Old Telegraph Line. (Accommodation: Bramwell Junction)
(Day 5) The OTL is easier in the dry season, but if there’s been some wet weather the water crossings get too deep to cross so we will take one of the bypass roads instead. Stopping at the iconic Fruit Bat Falls for a swim. This natural weir is croc-free and is a few kilometres from the junction of the Southern Bypass road and the OTL. It has plenty of shady picnic tables, making it the ideal place for a pit stop. The Jardine river ferry crossing. (Accommodation: Bamaga and Punsand Bay)
(Day 6) After breakfast its only 30km to the tip! Pajinka, the traditional name for the northernmost point of mainland Australia at the top of the Cape York Peninsula! After photos and a beer to celebrate we head back to our accommodation for lunch then there’s something very cool planned. We have a helicopter booked for flights around the tip. It’s our farewell dinner and a chance to remember what we have achieved it’s been hard at times but well worth the effort, a trip of a lifetime we’ve all made new friends and a stack of awesome memories, on a trip full of adventure. (Accommodation: Last night at Punsand Bay)
(Day 7) After breakfast it’s time for the team at FNQ MT to say goodbye and well done to all our new friends. The bus has arrived it’s a short drive to Bamaga airport for your flight back to Cairns. What a trip hope to see you all again on your next adventure!!
