This
Cape York Travel Pocket Guide contains the

York trip.
It is totally FREEof charge,
and it is my present to you as thanks for your interest in this website.
I made it especially for the planning
stage of your trip, and it should help you with basic decisions such as
how to get here, how to get around, what kind of accommodation to use,
when to go, how long time to take and roughly what places you want to
visit. It also gives you a rough idea about what the trip will cost you.

This 50
Page FREE
Pocket
Guide Contains
* a short
overview about
what's there
* what are the highlights
* why most travellers go to Cape York
AND the information that you
need in the planning
stage,
like
*
when is the best time
to go
considering climate AND crowds (the moonsoonal climate of northern
Australia - the
dry and the early/late wet season, tropical cyclones, and when is Cape York most
crowded) * a short
overview on how to get
here
(Australians would drive their own vehicle (the
FREE
camping spots on the way here from Sydney, Melbourne and Northern
Territory are in the Destination
Guide)but
overseas visitors may
consider
flying or long distance buses or trains, and then renting or buying a
vehicle in Cairns)
* the different options to get around
(advantages and
disadvantages of renting / joining tours / self driving, 2WD vs 4WD);
* What kind of accommodation
is available. If you don't like camping you can do the whole trip
staying
in different kinds of accommodation, however it gives you a bit less
freedom in places
(the complete lists of
accommodation, camping and FREE camping spots are in the Destination
Guide).
* some basic practical
information
about the availability of fuel and banking facilities etc
* what are the best Cape York activities
* Short descriptions of places

you should
plan for the whole trip, and

count your budget - roughly
what you'd expect it
all to cost
you
