The Ultimate CAPE YORK TOWING GUIDE | Caravan the TIP | Bloomfield Track | Old Telegraph Track OTT

Is the Cape York Peninsula is your bucket list, but you like us like to travel with the camper in tow? Here is all the FAQ about taking a trailer, camper, hybrid or caravan to the most northernly point of the Australian mainland safely while still enjoying the fun to be had on the Old Telegraph Track (OTT).

In this episode we’ll cover many topics including, track and road conditions, fuel stop, water availability, where to leave your trailer while tackling the hard stuff, route options and more…

The Cape is often discussed as one of the hardest, most remote tracks in Australia, however with ample planning and preparations in place, there is no doubt that you can safely get to the top in a standard 4WD and tow your palace on wheels behind.

I hope you enjoy this episode, but more importantly I hope it can provide useful information to others thinking about hitting the Cape. If you have any suggestions, or points that I’ve missed, make sure to comment below so that other’s can see it too.

We’ll be sure to see you in the next episode of XPLORINGOZ.
