I don't know what gravel/road/ rough road experience you have, but my comment is take it easy/ slowly as it will reduce the chance of doing any damage to your vehicle or trailer. We found plenty of "bat outahell" drivers who were a real menace to themselves and others coming the other way.
The "Tip" should be just part of the journey , not the holy grail as some of the drivers seem to behave.
If in doubt about needing to replace any suspension parts, do it before hand. If your shocks/struts and possibly some bushes are getting towards 200 000km or more, replace them before you go.
Allow at least two weeks to get from Cooktown to the Tip and back to enjoy it.
Allow time to go Thursday island for the day.
There is a Cape York tourist website.
For us it's a been there once, not bothering to go back experience, plenty of others go there numerous times though.
We prefer more western locations and southern beaches where you can swim without blasted crocs.

Hi all,

We are thinking about making a Cape trip this time next year... starting to plan...

Will be just us at this stage, with our Pajero and rear fold camper.

Looking for advice, tips, locations,  recommended places to stay, etc... that others have experienced...

A few notes:

Not interested in doing the OTT, Gunshot or anything of that nature... will be sticking to the PDR, mainly.
Obviously looking at doing the Tip Sign photo
Not that confident in major 4wding by myself

Any info that forum members can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I identify as invisible.
My pronouns are,
Who, Where.

You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.

When I had a 4WD/camping business I dealt with the owner in w.a. quite often, very friendly…

Also as quoted online ‘ iTechworld is a Western Australian family owned and operated company’

Have had their slimline lithium 50amp in my car for a couple of years, all good

I have 2 of their batteries in my camper for 5 years and never had a problem bought another for my troopy 2 years ago and it’s going great had a 240 volt charger that died on me after 3 weeks rang them no problems walked into their show room and swapped it no questions asked and the replacement one has worked perfectly for 3 years now highly recommend them
