One of our most popular +Trail Bike tours is an 8 day Ride/Fly to the very tip of Australia. The Cairns to Cape York ride distance is approx 1350 klms and each day we ride approx 260 klms. A lot of the Cape York area is quite flat with a variety of different terrain and and track conditions, but there are also a lot of creek and river crossings to encounter. In a 'normal' wet season Cape York gets about 3 metres of rain making for lots of wash outs and erosion ruts. We visit privat property exclusive to +Fair Dinkum Bike Tours All ages can experience the Famous Creb track through to the Lion's Den pub and on to +Cooktown. Riding the Cape Flattery Sand Dunes and Lakefield National Park. Visit Old Musgrave telegraph staion, the infamous Telegraph track and Twin Falls. Stand at the Top of Australia. Visit WW2 aircraft crash sites and a chance to go fishing.
This is a rough guide of what we get up to.
