Now most say stay away from holiday times. But it's the cape. Not high on the average persons holiday agenda.

Secondly. When is a good time to travel up there?? I would think maybe march to June maybe??
Not to hot, not cyclone season. Etc etc...

I've always wanted to do cape. But fark she'd be a trip for me. South to north...

All the rivers and creeks will be too high or un passable early in the season july to sept would be my pic

september could work too... two week school holidays at that time.

For what it is worth, September is a lot quieter up there for traffic and tourists than June/July.

Also, as there are so many different places to visit or drive to, it might be best to set the meet-up point as the Tip (or as Punsand Bay resort), and the date, and then as mentioned already, everyone can get there in their own time and via their own routes.

Just about to put up the poll. I think if we make the meeting point bramwell station, we can to the old tele track together. I think that a Wednesday would be the best meetup day, I did have some logic behind it but I have forgotten why now.

Cheers

Don't stay at Bramwell Junction
Did the Cape in 2013 & 2014 stay at Bramwell Station its only a couple of ks from the start of the Tele track.
Both years were totally different, first year a walk in the park second year towing camper trailers a bit more challenging,
1 of the Patrols did not come home, drowned at Nolans, other than that soooper fun,
Cheers
