On this page you have the Cape York Newsletter back issues.
As you can see this
newsletter is highly irregular and also seasonal.
The irregularity is because I am not pushing a monthly newsletter and
then
try to fill it with Cape York news that are not relevant for travellers.
I prefer shorter newsletters with more relevant info for you as a
traveller, and I am sure you agree.
For that reason I write
when I have something to say instead of writing strictly
once a month whether I have anything to say or not.
The seasonality means there
are a lot more newsletters during the Wet Season (January
- June) than the Dry
Season (July - December).
It is because from
January on the majority of people plan
their trip, need the news for their trip, early season travellers need
to know how the roads are going in the late Wet Season, and there are
always some cyclones
that could cause big road closures.
From June on
most people are on the tracks, the roads are dry enough, there are no
more cyclones, we
are also on the tracks getting updates.
And in the end of the
year
there is very little interest when everyone is busy getting ready for
Christmas, while I am also busy myself, getting all
the updates into the Destination Guide to be ready to go in January.
That is why you find a
lot more newsletters in the first than in the second half of the year,
when you may not hear from me for a good couple of months at the time.

My full time project of 2020-21 is to improve every single page on this website with more information and more, better photos. With almost 300 pages and so many photos to go through, it is very time consuming work, but it is gradually happening, right now :-)
