Cape York 4WD Safaris
What an exciting but practical tour
programme. Perfect for the holiday maker who wishes to combine the
speed and scope of air travel with a comprehensive overland visit to
the prime destinations of Cape York Peninsula. Commence with a 4WD
expedition from Daintree rainforests and Cooktown in the South to Iron
Range National Park on the East Coast then to the Gulf of Carpentaria
on the West Coast then the Torres Strait in the North, followed by a
spectacular aerial reconnaissance to our least disturbed wilderness,
its deserted coastline, adjoining reefs and islands.
Gulf Savannah Safaris
The Gulf Savannah - a land of real
outback characters, bush pubs and wild yarns, wedge-tailed eagles and
wallaroos, hot springs and cool rivers. Discover a rich history of
Aboriginal culture, of explorers and pioneers, of gold rushes and
railways. With an area of 425,000 square kilometres, it is the region
of northern Australia which is drained by its mighty seasonal rivers
into the Gulf of Carpentaria. It's bounded in the east by the Great
Dividing Range and in the west by the Arnhem Land escarpment, some
1400kms across, and represents about half of northern Australia's
tropical savannahs. The dry savannah landscape, typified by vast grass
plains, open eucalypt forest and the ever present acacia (wattle),
abounds with wildlife and is the epitome of the classic Australian
scene.
3 Day Rock Art, Rainforest & Cooktown Safari
Jowalbinna is an inspiring rock art
safari camp near Laura in lower Cape York. It contains an extensive
range of Quinkan rock art sites, rated by UNESCO as one of the top ten
rock art bodies in the world. Aboriginal occupation dates back over
30,000 years and the images of Quinkan spirits, totem animals and
people adorn many of the rock shelters.
Scenic bushwalks pass through green eucalypt valleys and sandstone
escarpments. The busy bird population includes over species and
wallabies are permanent residents. The creeks have permanent swimming
holes (no Estuarine Crocodiles here!) and many peaceful spots just to
take in the wildlife.

Challenge to discover Jowalbinna’s secrets or visit in your own four
