Cargo Barrier I wasn’t planning on building one, until I saw how much I’d have to pay for one. So I started with a grid style barrier. Large enough to still slide timber and steel through, but small enough to mount molle pouches. I wanted a gap in the middle in case I needed to reach through...

The Map Cairns to the tip of Cape York - 1031km each way.

Headlights One of the first things you notice when you hit the Peninsula Development Road are the amount of trucks coming home with fishbowls where their headlights once were. I’d imagine any trail or track with constant creeks to ford would present with the same problem, but the Old Telegraph...

Back in 2014 I set out on an adventure that was 10 years in the making. A newly divorced father, I packed up my 3 year old daughter, my old Land Rover 'Sally' and we ventured as far north as we could go on this big old island. Prepared but cautious, excited but still a little anxious, I can...

Absolutely beautiful !!!

14.07.10 Bramwell Station to Musgrave Roadhouse 337km I was up early. It gave me a chance to look around as the sun rose against the distant gums. It was the biggest campgrounds I’d ever seen. Smiling I looked around to see that dozens and dozens of groups of trucks had just found their patch...

Thank you everyone !!! And always good to see another Defer in action. Inca was taken less by the snow and more by the fact your Sally was blue ?? :)

"The best thing about an adventure is that you can not officially call a trip an adventure until things go wrong." - Love this line !! Great read, great photos - Can't wait to see more :)

14.07.09 Punsand Bay to Bramwell Station 255km Day eight. We were up at 7am and set about packing up the camp. It was a really slow pack up, as I guess I didn't really want to leave. Terry and Cassy were up and out quickly. They had planned their special moment at the top, and...

14.07.08 Punsand Bay to the Top … Cape York We were all up late, and no one cared. Inca slept in and I got some time to look at photos and generally relax with some quiet time to reflect. I made up my mind we’d spend the day doing whatever Inca wanted to do, knowing there was a high chance...

Thanks again :)

14.07.07 Sam's Creek to Punsand Bay (Will edit distance travelled later) Day six, and I was ready for a challenge. Inca and I left Terry and Cassy behind at Sam's Creek to travel with Jason, Jess and the kids along the rest of the Old Telegraph Track. Terry and Cassy had second battery...

WOW !!!

14.07.06 Canal Creek to Sam's Creek (I gave my map to someone - will have to return and edit) Given the adventurous day we'd all had the day before it was decided by Jason and Jess, Terry and Cassy to take a day to slow down. So the plan for day five was for a much shorter day and a few...

Cheers :) Thanks - I really want her to pursue an adventurous heart, fear nothing and travel. I guess I thought a Cape Adventure, was just the recipe to instil these traits ?? She's not stopped talking about it since, and keeps asking me about our next adventure :)

14.07.05 Dulhunty River to Canal Creek 54kms It was a late start to day four. I crawled down the ladder of the rooftop camper at 7:30am after sleeping through the alarm. Inca was dead to the world and everyone else was sleeping in too. I heard the watch go off but had decided on a little...

Thanks :D Nice !!
