4WD Overland Adventure
Drive yourself, or let us do it for you. The overland trip form Cairns is one you will never forget: the bitumen (asphalt) ends after the first 300 km’s and washouts and corrugations challenge travellers for the next 700 km’s. Leave your vehicle in Cairns and enjoy a very personal tour, just you and the guide. Please note the road is generally open from May to December.
