looking to be a 95% goer for this trip.

Having never done this before, are there permits that need to be arranged prior to traveling? Camping, 4wding?

G'day Jason,

Your fee that you pay at the Jardine river crossing covers your permit for the Cape York area.

We only have to pay additional fees if we camp at Elliot falls, Chili beach areas. I will take care of the bookings for those camp grounds in January 2013.

G'day you fellow Cape York tripping Trendsetters!

Folks, i have been asked is there a cut off time frame for the Cape trip. I have decided that you folks can vote on this matter. It does not really matter to me, however, i do need numbers for booking into the Big 4 caravan park at Port Douglas, Lions den camp ground area, Punsand bay Camping Resort, and both Elliot falls and Chilli beach camp ground areas.

The earlier i can book these areas the better chance of securing a camp spot.

At present i will only use those folks who are definitely confirmed that they are going, as a number figures to be used. Those that decide to be part of the trip after Feb 2013, will have to make there own bookings.

PS, EIGHT MONTHS AND COUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards,

G'day folks,

I am currently organising to book my Patrol into Diesel Central in Rockhampton for a dyno tune on the 2nd August 2013. This is on the way up to meeting you folks in Port Douglas on or around 3/4 August 2013. If there are any others out there that would like to get a dyno tune, please let me know and i will see if we can book the 2nd August just for our party.

Shawn Swaffield and the staff at Diesel Central are known as one of the best diesel tuners in the business.

Regards,

RLI

I may be VERY interested in this as I'll be setting out from Gladstone, so rocky is just up the road and it would be very handy.

Are they just tuners? Or can try do other mechanical works as well? I might get them to do some prep work a few weeks before hand.

G,day joshman,

Shawn is regarded as one of the best Nissan diesel mechanics in Australia.

He has just changed his business name from "Swafftec" to Diesel Central. His race Patrol has won shit loads of races. Go to u-tube and type in "swafftec now diesel central-super diesel" This will demonstrate his abilities on how good he gets power from a 4.2 turbo diesel. People travel all around Australia just to get him to tune there turbo diesels.

PS, and he is very reasonably priced!
