Hi guys, I am think about planning a cape york trip in the sierra. I am just a bit worried about all the water crossings. I want to do a 1.6 conversion before i go aswel then it wont be slug. also thinking about towing a small trailer just for some added room. Does anyone have tips or experience ? Cheers Pete |

Quick look on the web found this, pretty informative. Lots of spare fuel. http://www.exploroz.com/TrekNotes/FNQ/Cape_York.aspx |

Did it on a bike back in 07, fucking awesome it was, would be great in a sierra with the top off going through the telegraph track. Highly recommend doing the Starke track on the east coast, you'd need a jerry to get through since its pretty remote. |

Thanks for the link, I will be sure on convince some one else with a bigger car to join me, i think it will be quite challenging in a zook as you have limited space but i think it will be awesome. 2-3 weeks im hoping for. |

Nah mate, we did it on bikes unsupported, i'd easily do it solo in a sierra. 1 20L jerry, water, camping gear, toolbox & spares, and your set. We rode up from Cairns to the tip, came back via the starke track to cooktown, then rode all the way back to sydney. |
