Cape York 4WD travel video guide Far North Queensland Australia
We decided to take on the ultimate Australian 4WD adventure and head up Queenslands Cape York Peninsula to Australias most northern point.
There are a number of ways you can tackle this drive experience. You can take on the OTT or OTL (Old Telegraph line track) where you will experience the great remote wilderness of Australia. This track starts at Bramwell junction and finishes at the Jardine River. There are two bypass roads that allow travellers to get from the Peninsula Development Road to The Tip without having to navigate all of the creek crossings and rough roads. They pass mainly through the highlands to the east and west of the route, and are heavily corrugated which makes for a rough drive.
If you decide to take on the challenge of the OTT there are a number of creek crossings along the way, some more challenging than others. Along the way the track reconnects with the Bypass road so you can bypass some of the more challenging crossings if need be.
Palm creek, Gunshot, cockatoo creek are some of the more challenging crossings we take on, however there is some pretty spectacular places you will come across on the track like the beautiful elliot falls, twin falls and fruit bat falls all of which provide a great place to cool of or camp for the night.

Ep.164 At the Top of Australia
We reached the top of Australia, Cape York! Due to the weather we couldnt get to the cape so we had to settle with the view from York Island. A bit of a disappointment for not stepping on cape york but we coudnt do anything about it!
Next stop, hello Thursday Island! We arrived on the Mabo Day Parade, a day where the Islanders celebrate Eddie Mabo and
what he did for Aboriginal land rights. There was a day full of pride and joy among the locals. As you wander throughout the Island there's an immediate strong religious feeling, especially on the main street where you will find several church's. But the crew were eager to climb up Green Hill to check out the key military sights including the trenches, a concrete bunker and the remains of a crashed US plane . From the top of Green Hill you get uninterrupted, spectacular views of the neighbouring islands, including Horn Island. To get into the amazing history of the Island, Thursday Island Cemetery shows its multicultural past in its full glory. Thursday Island was also the port of departure for my great friend Gonzo, from now on only with the girls.

Dangers of Touring in remote locations - Episode 9
Let this be a reminder on the dangers of touring in remote locations. Always have set guidelines and a plan, a back up strategy and recovery procedures if something goes wrong within your group, especially when someone goes missing, when you tour this vast magnificent country of ours.
Drowning the Hilux!
OK, here's some footage of an emergency recovery of the drowned Hilux back up vehicle that took a slightly wrong track through the Wenlock last month - This is real world stuff, and yes, the Lux was out quick enough to finish the trip.

Cruise Ship in Bermuda Triangle Storm
This video was shot on the last day of our Caribbean cruise aboard the Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas cruise ship in which it encountered very rough seas when the ship passed through the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle storm didn't make anyone on board nervous because the Allure of the Seas is the largest cruise ship in the world and can easily handle these common Caribbean storms.
On the topic of the Bermuda Triangle… Some scientists now believe that the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle may be solved. Hexagonal clouds creating intense 170 mph “air bomb” winds are perhaps be to blame for an alarming number of disappearing ships and planes. What do you think?
