It is still an adventure and it pays to be well prepared. Crossing one of the creeks on the way to the tip of Cape York, Old Telegraph Rd, far north Queensland, early April 1998. Despite the bow-wave only a cup of water came into the cabin through the air vents. The 4WD is a 1992 SR5 Toyota Dual Cab 2.8 Diesel Hilux. All too quick really, but I am keen to go back again soon - Sam Morgan Oberli Margareta and Mercedes Benz GD 300 on the Overland Telegraph Line in Cape York, far north Queensland.
Termites form a very significant part of the ecology of outback Australia.
Cape York remains one of the great travel adventures in Australia. The trip should not be undertaken lightly. Vehicles and drivers should be well prepared, and travel in company.
