Cape York Peninsula |
| For thousands of years it has defied the onslaught of civilisation. Until a little over a 100 years ago only indigenous Australians enjoyed this unique paradise. History records that Europeans first touched our shores here almost four centuries ago but ironically this is still Australia's last pioneering frontier, the last of our continent to be explored, settled or developed. | |
| The quest to conquer has always attracted man to the least accessible of earth's surfaces - the highest mountain, the widest desert, the most remote...In Australia, the greatest achievement is, without question, to reach the northernmost tip, Cape York. | |
| Still a wild, sparsely populated
wilderness, and trafficable only during the months from April to December
and then only by four-wheel-drive vehicles for most of the way, to travel
overland to the Cape is still an adventure , opening up to the traveller
some of this country's most splendid and diverse scenery.
To stand at the most northerly point of Australia where oceans meet, overlooking the scattered islands of the Torres Strait, is indeed an awe-inspiring and overwhelming experience. |
 |
| The Great Barrier Reef | |
| This amazing coral
phenomenon encompasses almost a quarter of a million square kilometres,
from just north of Bundaberg at its southern extremity to the Torres
Strait in the north. "The Reef" has no equal. No where is more
magnificent than off the east coast of Cape York Peninsula.
People come from all over the world to witness this splendid natural wonder, and the pageantry of its myriad inhabitants, and no better way than by cruising its sheltered blue waters between Cairns and Cape York. The Torres Strait |
|
| Cape York Peninsula is the gateway to another little known and seldom visited part of Australia that includes over 100 islands, many of them coral atolls, as exotic and unspoiled as any in the South Pacific. These islands, reefs and azure waters support islander communities living an idyllic lifestyle virtually unchanged by modern civilisation. |  |

The
need to pause from urban pressure and working place tension is no more
evident than today as we approach the 21st century. What better contrast
to a high-tech, space age environment, than the freedom and relaxation,
the subtle therapeutic magic of a wilderness holiday. Every day the shared delight of the unfamiliar landscape, the flora and fauna, the culture and lifestyle. Every evening the unexpected pleasure of traditional Australian hospitality at hotel, motel, station or lodge accommodation. 6 Day Overland/Air Accommodated Tour 12 Day Cape York Cruise/Overland Accommodated Tour |
During
200 years of European settlement, the values and perceptions transplanted
from other countries, have prevented many Australians from fully seeing
and understanding the real Australia, its unique ecology, or the culture
of its original inhabitants. Camping outdoors, in the less distributed wilderness, rainforest or even the arid outback, provides a rare opportunity to further perceive and appreciate our fascinating difference from other lands. 7 Day Cape York & Torres Strait Camping Safari 9 Day Cape York Overland/Air Camping Safari 12 Day Cape York & Torres Strait Air/Overland Camping Safari 16 Day Cape York All Overland Camping Safari |
The
Great Barrier Reef, Torres Strait, Cape York Peninsula and World Heritage
listed rainforests between Cairns and Cooktown, each compliment and
enhance the other, and Oz Tours Safaris Land/Sea programs are designed to
include all these exciting destinations. Both camping, or accommodated formats, are utilised for the overland sector, and the new cruise/air tours feature full accommodation during your Cape York stay. 11 Day Cape York Overland/Sea Safari 15 Day Cape York Reef & Wilderness Seafari |
