Karenn Loc: Sydney Australia.

Our trip to Cape York held many perils. From fires, to many amazing tracks and water crossings that seemed unpassable. This section was called "Gunshot" because of the steep decent of the track that you needed to pass through. There was a chicken track for those that did not want to attempt this but unfortunately due to extreme rainfall prior to us arriving here, it was impossible. Numerous cars had been bogged in this section with the added hazard of a few trees down as well. The first photo marks the start of the Telegraph Track which is the old telegraph service maintenance line, long been disused and only used for 4 x 4 drives today. Hope you enjoy.

We watched Quads go through before us.

Gunshot and Little Gunshot that was worse due to tree stumps burried in the mud.

Karenn Loc: Sydney Australia.

Some people do do it the other way, not us we were on a mission to the tip of Australia and came back down a different route for a change of scenery. Will go back again because 5 weeks was not enough to explore and some tracks were closed because of the rain earlier that month..

We do a big trip every year and in between work get away every three weeks on shorter trips to our farm, son's place in Jindabyne or anywhere else we can take the dogs to camp. LIVE LIFE

That's OK and yes I find it a little scary at times. But it is still exciting.
