Located in the far northern part of Queensland, Cape York is a wilderness area of contrasts, with abundant water systems, that include rivers, creeks and waterfalls. There is wild untamed bushland, rainforest areas, great beaches, and stretches of long dusty roads. Cape York will offer many surprises, from it's natural beauty, it's history, and the friendliness of the people of the Torres Strait.

With a distance of 1,000 km from Cairns to the northern tip of Australia, on the east side of the peninsula (from Cairns to Cooktown) you will meet steep mountains covered in rainforest, that meets the ocean. Further north the country becomes drier, with large granite and sandstone areas. The coastline stretches for hundreds of km, met by winds sweeping the beaches and you can see eroded cliffs sculptured into fabulous shapes. To the west, rivers flow and emerge into the mangroves, where they join the waters of the Gulf of Carpentaria.
