*On Box*
Experience the very best of Cape York Peninsula from the delights of historic Cooktown, to the mining giant that is Weipa. Travel to "The Tip" via the exciting challenge of the Overland Telegraph Line and marvel at the natural wonders of the region's national parks, the magic of the verdant rainforest of Iron Range, and the rivers and streams that are the everlasting image of travelling to Cape York.

Glenn Ridge and outback adventurer Ron Moon travel through the Cape York Peninsula, a hot untamed wilderness just north of Cairns that’s the size of Victoria!

They travel over 1,000 kilometres of bone shattering dirt roads, tropical rainforests, croc infested rivers and harsh desert to reach Cape York, the most northern tip of mainland Australia.

They meet some unique characters along the way, including a man who holds the key to some of the world's best examples of aboriginal rock art and a woman who has plaster casts of what she claims to be 'animals unknown to science’.

Even more unusual is the local wildlife, many unique to the Cape. From the brightly coloured cassowaries to the cus cus – a monkey faced possum; the animals are as beautiful and colourful as the scenery.
