Australia Travel Documentary: Cape York on the Old Telegraph Track

Going north on the Old Telegraph Track and exploring the northernmost point of the Australian continent. Follow this challenging offroad track and see what it takes to go through this wonderful part of Australia.
From Cairns via Cooktown to the tip!
Special thanks to everyone who contributed to this Documentary, especially to my friend Hubi, who borrowed me his amazing DJI Mavic drone!! The rest of the footage is filmed with a Sony FS5, a Sony as50 and an iPhone X on a DJI Osmo mobile gimbal.
Thanks to Morò and Raphi for their advice and to Julius for the final quality check of the film.

Hi 4WD fun, thanks for your feedback. Hope you’ll have a great trip to the cape as well! It’s really one of the coolest places on earth. Cheers!

[@cjjenson8212]

Just my point of knowledge, if the red rocks of Utah had a baby with the flatness of Kansas, you'd get Australia.

One of the best Cape York OTT videos I have seen. N I have watched heaps. Thanks to you n your family for choosing to come Down Under for a trip of a lifetime and share it here with us. Great to see the true Aussie hospitality show through right from your 1st night on the trip. I hope I have as much fun as you did when I head up in July.

[@michaelsecomb4115]

Been there and loved it. Thanks for reviving memories.

[@doktor-video.]

Our pleasure! Thank you for your feedback!

[@geoffdrew5207]

Interesting to see an overseas visitor's impression of the Cape and one willing to take on the OTT. It is a special part of Australia and even though you only saw a small part of it your appreciation is obvious. Please come back some day and see more of our wonderful country.

[@doktor-video.]

Dear Geoff, thanks for your positive comment. We still think a lot of our great time in Australia and can’t wait to come back! And I didn’t leave you country without some new 4wd guides for our next trip... :-)

[@ericsebasio681]

👍 thanks for your vlog

[@geraldwhite4819]

A great video! Also good to see a Perentie being put through its paces.

[@seeweed70]

up the perentie

[@alavinaglenn1085]

Awesome travel to watch in Aussie

[@owenbaker3606]

Excellent documentary!! I spend quite a bit of time watching adventure video's and this is one of the best. it had a great balance of topics for all that were watching, not just 4x4 driving. You covered the history of Australia and even got some of the new natives to be part of it. :-). I came to Australia 28 years ago from the UK and I have only experienced a fraction of it. I hope you will come back and do more documentaries in the near future.

[@doktor-video.]

Dear Owen, appreciate that you liked it. All the comments from you and the over persons on this documentary are very motivating! Thanks.

[@henryratajczak3071]

What a wonderful trip. It's like we're along in the vehicle with you. Thank you for sharing and safe travels.

[@asifyani6543]

[@doktor-video.]

I am loving to hear that it reminds you of a great time! And yes, Nolans can be tricky :-)

[@Mexle]

Nice video! Supee interesting!

[@edulearning6781]

I must say, the video is underrated for many people, which is a good point

[@darthvader8433]

Will be up there in Sept. Travelling from SW WA via Newcastle, Birdsville and Tasmania (for a month).

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

Very entertaining video, well done.

[@dronemotionstravel2679]

You are the man. You inspire me for my Australia videos. Wow... cool 😁 happy to be there again soon.

[@daviddalziel838]

Great little doco, loved it all. Just an honest video of a great trek with real people.

[@doktor-video.]

Thanks David. Great to get such feedback!

[@ADayInTheLifeOfJames]

Great video mate wow! 🙌🏼

[@lachlangill382]

I have watched countless hours of footage showing cape york and the old telegraph track and having just recently returned from there, this video truely encapsulates the experience. Well done!

[@doktor-video.]

Thank you so much- hope you had a great time up at cape York as well. Cheers!

[@openbarcampingadventure8889]

Great video. Can’t wait to get up there myself

[@jameswebb3000]

[@jcv551]

Awesome video, it was like we were there with you. Made my day 😉 thanks.

[@doktor-video.]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@raydav25]

great vid cobber

[@kabaottoemulsion1869]

Amazing video! I wouldn't have guts to do what you did!

[@nguont]

Awesome trip! And if I could , ask how did you find the hire company ? Trustworthy, customer service etc?

[@doktor-video.]

Thanks for your feedback! First of all, you have not much of a choice. There is almost no other hire company. The other big company which is renting 4wd cars for cape York, seems (as rumors say) more often than not to charge high penalties after returning the car after the trip, if the costumers went on the OTT (they check we GPS Data which is recorded by the car). Even if they say you are legal to go on the OTT when you hire the car. I would not recommend to risk to find out, if these rumors are true or not… That made it easy for us to choose NoLimits. They were trustworthy and did their best to help us to plan the trip (I was torturing them with several Emails about the route, campsites etc…). Before the start the owner was explaining the car really in detail, that was cool. The car was fine. But it’s clear, it’s a former army truck, not a new car… we got really dusty :). But we saw several very expensive and highly tuned offroad cars get stuck, but not our old Perentie! We had not a single time to reverse or got stuck! It’s perfect for this trip. After all these positive words, I should mention, that I don't get paid by NoLimits :) I would choose them again if I am going to come to the region next time. If anyone has good experience with other companies for the OTT, feel free to write about your experience in the comments! Enjoy your trip!

[@maartenfrankvanderhaar5664]

What a Great Video it was as if we were on the Trip with your family ,it has made me more determined to take the trip more than ever.

[@doktor-video.]

Maarten thank you for your very positive comment! Hope you will make it to to the tip soon! Cheers

The toyota doing off roading on road biased tyres ??

[@raymondbrady8742]

'had a bit of a laugh, too, when I saw what rubber he was using. Though, really, ya've gotta give the guy credit where credit's due. He did tow that van from W.A., somewhere (presumably as part of his around Australia trip). And as much as one might like to have various sets of tyre's put aside for each of the different legs planned, though in reality that's just not logical. Though I think the van had at least a decent set of A/T's shod on each side. Maybe even basic M/T's:

[@FJaypewpew]

genuinely good videography here

[@doktor-video.]

Thank you!

[@Coordinator61]

Can you rent one of these to make the trip?

[@doktor-video.]

Hi Coordinator61, Yes, you can rent them. It was the only company I found which was allowing to take the car on the OTT. The temporary base of the rental company during the season is in Cairns.
