Queensland Waterfalls & Beaches Tour
(9 days)
Last year on his return from Cape York, I asked Scott to find a more interesting route back home especially from Cairns to Rockhampton. And he delivered on all counts, what a great way to come back from your trip to Cape York.
Scott will take you to all the must see waterfalls along the coastal fringe including the beautiful Atherton Tableland and the highest falls in Queensland, Wallaman Falls. In between these locations he has found various back roads and more scenic locations to show you. Then you will hit the beaches around Cape Palmerston and the Byfield NP, travelling in convoy brings you the safety of numbers along with your guide’s experience of the area.
Scott has hand picked the overnight campsites based on their appeal and amenity. What great way to return from Cape York or just join us even if you haven’t done the Cape.
