TELEGRAPH TRACK - what you need to know - Roothy
Cape York's Telegraph Track is possibly the most iconic 4wd track in Australia and on just about everybody's bucket list - or in my case, must go back again list!

Now you're going to ask me when this trip was filmed and I'm going to say 'not sure'. By the look of Milo it'd be around 2010 and while things have changed a lot up the Cape since then this dvd was made to explain the Telly itself. So be aware that the rule of the bush, at least the latter day bush where governments get involved, is to always check current conditions and the situation on permits, booze and camping OK?

It was Jack the Dog's first time up the Cape and because 4WD Action readers all wanted to go up there we decided to really concentrate on the old Telly. I did the trip with Geoff from Bamaga in his modified 80 and Luke, a diesel fitter from Weipa, in his 75 Series. It was incredible fun and a great adventure. But then any trip through Cape York guarantees lots of both!

The Telegraph Track was cut through the bush during the 1880’s and hasn’t seen much maintenance since then. For four wheel drivers this is the must do part of any Cape trip where the legendary creek crossings like the Dulhunty, Cockatoo and Gunshot beckon. It’s slow, meandering, runs from soft sand to huge potholes and has some the best camping on the Cape. Don’t miss Indian Head Falls and Fruit Bat Falls, signposted off the main track these days, where the swimming is absolutely superb and the scenery magnificent.
