4x4 cape york trip

Post by BIG GAV » Fri Jun 02, 2017 11:26 pm

Hey guys havent been on in quite a while, working too much -.- but planning a holiday with mrs big gav in august seotember to the tip!

Having said that ive been spending alot just getting the car to a capable standard new suspension snorkel tyres etc

Was hoping id find a fellow member who has done it to give me some insight on the fishing along the way!

And to where i mightt try and find a fellow traveler with similair dates so i dont have to do the hairy stuff solo!

Thanks in advance

Gav

That would be a great trip.
Might come with you ($15million powerball next Thursday)
Maybe Barra Mick, has been there.
I can't think of anybody that has been there, but I'll ask around.

Cheers

Yes big gav I can help...been to the cape twice and once out to turltle island off the top off the cape.

You will need to take a boat....a roof toper will be better than towing one....

Towing is possible but a roof topper you can rip off easy and fish the coastal creeks..

Im going in September and october this year but to the other side off the gulf.

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
