It is a long way to “The Tip” of Australia, Cape York – approximately 1.000 kilometres north of Cairns. Nice trip for us, beautiful national parks on the way, like Iron Range or Lakefield. At the Bramwell Roadhouse you have to decide if you take the Old Telegraph Track (OTT) […]

Leaving Lakefield NP towards Iron Range NP was not too easy; we still had a lot of bird life in the morning, so the time passed by. On top of that, every now and then it happens that you miss 100km on a map and by doing so, you don’t […]

What a nice start for our Cape York trip. To be honest, we had no idea what to expect from that part of Australia, and there are still a lot of question marks, especially when it comes to the upper North part, but Lakefield National Park was a fantastic start. […]

Famous Kakadu NP – somehow our expectations were decreasing already day by day, talking to the locals, who basically tell you that Kakadu is not a must see. Well, they are right, if you saw other places before, like Mary River, Kakadu really looses a lot. And if, like in […]
