Hi McGirr,

not looking good for me to do the trip next year :'( We have a major roll out scheduled for that month and the boss for some reason thinks he needs me >:( So until we know 100% what's happening there is no leave being approved for that period ??? Sounds like you have got enough people anyway :-[

can I ask for a map route, as to what roads and tracks you guys will be using going up to the Cape :D

What creek crossings etc ??

I've been looking at some Utube videos of the various creek & river crossings up there, some are not what I would go downand expect to be able to drive home again

Looking at the itinerary will help you plan the trip.

The main road is the development rd which can bypass the otl and you can get to the Cape in 2 days easy.

The southern part of the otl starts at Bramwell junction.

The creeks are palm creek ( steep exit), Dulhunty , bertie, gunshot ( steep drop in now and then ), cockatoo are all easy and will have water in them but not deep only half way up the tyres.

The northern otl has canal, sams, cannibal, lagoon all with water. Lagoon was half way up the door. Log bridge and then Nolan's creek which was up to the headlights on most cars and the hardest crossing due to the deep water. It has a sandy bottom.

In saying this every year is so different as each week the tracks can change. Last year was the hardest I have encountered in 4 trips up there. It all depends on our wet season.

All theses creeks are croc free.

I hope this helps.

We have a group of 30. I will start arranging the accommodation.

Lions Den....I will give them a call and will advise if we have to book and when.

Seisa Huts....I have a map of the park and will allocate huts and liaise with them. Not all members will fit into huts but will try and make sure you all camp on the beach front. You will be advised what hut number and who you will be sharing it with.

Do not book or arrange accommodation until advised otherwise it confuses things.
