Cape York trip 2018

Hi

We are planning to take the boat to Thursday Island and Seisia with our 4wd and off-road camper, then return to Cairns down one of the roads (to be decided).

Boat tickets are only available in October 2018.

From our research, October should be dry and fine for the return trip.

What will the road conditions be like, either on the PDR or Telegraph.
