If you\u2019re heading up the Cape for the first time, this guide will be helpful in planning drive times. \u2018Via the PDR\u2019 is straight up the main dirt highway, alternate times are given for side-tracks like the Tele and Frenchman\u2019s Tracks.<\/p>\n

WHERE ELSE?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a pretty whirlwind trip, but for most of us getting more than three or four weeks off work and getting the kids out of school is a bloody hard task. Then you\u2019ve got to factor in the week or so (give or take) that you\u2019ll spend getting to and from Cairns. A whirlwind trip\u2019s better than none at all, but if you\u2019ve got extra time up your sleeve then here are a few more places definitely worth a visit;<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Cape Melville<\/li>\n
  • Chilli Beach<\/li>\n
  • Thursday Island<\/li>\n
  • Mutee Head<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It all comes down to how much time you\u2019ve got up your sleeve and what you want to see \u2013 so don\u2019t wait around, get out there and see more of this beautiful country we live in!<\/p>\n
