Yes you can put us in two adults, have been to the tip once in 2009 and also four other times on fishing trips to various parts of the cape. I will be doing another fishing trip this year also about september. Good luck with this trip we will all be watching.

Throw us in the hat too. Was actually thinking of tackling it the year after and I'll need to sort out some lesser priorities (work / holidays / $ etc) as we're doing a 5 weeker in Sept this year, but am keen all the same
Cheers,
Tim

We were looking to do the cape next year and would be great to do it with others who've done it before. What are the dates?

Cheers, Sam.

I'll put my hand up.
But need to work out total time from Melbourne to starting point and back to Melbourne.

1 week up from melb, 1 week home I guess. 4-5 weeks all up.

So the trip begins on the 22nd - where from? Cairns? and the 7th is back in Cairns is it? I know people can do their own gig, but trying to get an idea of what to expect.

I know ya probably flat out gettin shiz done for this trip, but any chance of some info on the whole gig?

Mark,

Can we put our (tentative) hands up for this?
Kay and I were interested in going on this years trip, but it filled before we threw our hats in the ring.

Cheers,
