Cape York 2013 - 4x4 trip via the Old Telegraph Track

4x4 Trip to the tip of Australia, Cape York Peninsula. Two vehicles (Nissan Patrol & Toyota Prado) set out from Sydney, NSW for the 4000+ km Journey to Pajinka (the tip) travelling along the infamous Old Telegraph Track.

Awesome footage and well put together mate. We are planning a Cape trip soon and this is perfect to show the Mrs, so she too can get excited (and know what she's in for). Cheers

Nice trip guys! We did it last year, and your vid brought back lots of great memories. It's interesting to see how the crossings have changed.

[@johnydoe7065]

Someday I wanna do this it’s on my bucket list

[@4x4AdventureClubInc]

great vid.

[@nooki1102]

This is a really well done video of Cape York.. its a great way of life of up and its good to see people enjoying it and making the trip.. the vids are entertaining too.. But since I live up here in Weipa I know the dangers to some extent concerning recovery and hospital travel.. at 5:15 the girl jumping into Elliot falls is silly,,very silly,, I have seen the falls when it was not flowing and theres 3 very large rocks in that drop off, it would take 4 hours to get her to Weipa and then and 2 hours to cairns before she got any help.. that's was very silly. if you want to jump in the go further down stream out of the white water. its a great place to visit but not so great when your injured or stranded. sorry for the bullshit but I really thought it should be pointed out..

[@kimciarma9425]

[@stevesolovieff8020]

[@DougPearson]

Nice one Steve Brings back memories Thanks Doug VK2YI

[@benmeh101]

Wish we were going back there again this year! Such an amazing part of Australia. You will have a blast.

[@nooki1102]

it was a good example yes,,just don't jump into Elliot falls where the white water is ok hahaha,,very large rocks in shallow water there,, go about 40m down stream

[@wurthit1239]

5:47, someone knows how to play the guitar! Tornado of souls😳 I love that song👍🤘

[@brucemcdonald166]

Cupla mates & my self done it on motorbikes with 60 series back up so much fun. So much wanna do it again may be in 4by next time.:)

[@boggsy84]

+Bruce McDonald How did you do the deep crossings on the bikes? Did you have to float them over on tractor tubes?

[@nickb2833]

Surprised the prado didn’t drop it’s lunch half way there

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

The last of the true Australian wilderness - It's hard to believe that Thora "Toots" Holzheimer used to drive M.A.N. trucks, loaded with 44 gallon drums of fuel, up through here... She was a legend up that way... Sadly, she was accidentally killed at Weipa in 1992 when she was crushed by a crane that was loading her truck. There is a monument to her at Archer River.

[@petergreen8516]

awesome editing & soundtrack guys , makes the one I put up look ordinary . Some good driving skills shown as vehicles don't look too knocked around given the state of the track . Punsand Bay was our campsite because it was dog friendly . A lot of great memories you'll have (youtube will make sure of that) . Looking forward to your other vids'

[@Fielder5757]

5:45 totally looks like you found a cute rodent then cooked it 30 seconds later lol. sweet video

[@dieTRON3030]

Lol!

[@PumbyBoy]

+Fielder5757 i thought the exact same thing! hahaha

[@blackmantiskungfu]

Fantastic vid. Brilliant editing and footage. Can I ask what time of year this was. Just wondering if the creek crossings are at their highest? Doing this next year in a Jeep Wrangler and hope it holds up as well as your 4x4s

[@musejina]

What's the BGM? My 4-year-son loves this video ;;;;

[@Flava002]

Great Vid. Wow Palm Creek is in a mess this year. I thought it was bad last year when i went through, but the exit was no where near as bad. How did you find the S/T Maxx tyres?

[@BradleyPaton]

Hey, great Vid. In which month did you travel this year, tracks still looks pretty sloppy and wet?

[@thatowensbloke]

nice vid! good to hear some quality aussie bands also :)

[@benmeh101]

Yeh its a shame COG have since split up. One of the best bands out of Aus.

[@stevepennington5181]

it is the summer time

[@V8LC100]

looks like a great trip had, cool video and good music. Did the petrol have any issues with the water crossings?

[@newcastlemusic]

The Prado didn't have any issues with the water crossings. Stay in first gear and don't release the clutch. I even let my wife do the Elliot Falls "puddle" crossing. She did fine.

[@remyKhuong]

5:40 WHAAAAOTTTTTT !!!! THAT MEAT ????

[@EmmanuelAlmonte23]

And the song of 6:45 minutes as the name

[@EmmanuelAlmonte23]

As is the name of the song the minute 00:52

[@brendanmaguire07]

Hi mate great vid, just wondering if the prado was an auto or Manual???

[@newcastlemusic]

+Bren d lad The Prado is a 6 cylinder manual petrol.

[@brendanmaguire07]

+Andrew Goodwin cheers mate!!!

[@phoenixonethree]

Can you do this track in the summer time? Or is it too wet?

[@nguont]

Correct, its too wet.

[@ratsackgamer]

Did the Prado have any issues doing the trip? What mods did it have?

[@benmeh101]

The Prado 90 Series (Petrol) did it all quite easily. The only time it needed to be snatched was at Palm Creek exit (as seen in video recovered by my Patrol GU IV). This was probably due to having no front locker on the 90. As far as mods go, Prado has a 2" lift, BF Goodrich A/T 32" tyres, Rear Air Locker and Snorkel. Great door seals too, not a drop of water ingress from all those crossings. My number 1 tip for the OTT is to drop your tyre pressures down. We ran 24 psi most the way up the OTT and dropped down to 16 psi on Nolans Brook. The main reason ppl get stuck in Nolans is tyre pressure, its a soft sandy bottom with an incline so treat it like beach driving and you should be fine. Also no need to go fast in Nolans, the impact can pull you up hard so take it slow and and wait 10 mins after the prev vehicle if possible so the sand has time to settle in the running water.

[@tommyt4755]

How did it not get water on the distributor ?

[@Jay-hr9ci]

I'm interested as to how the petrol engine went during those water crossings...

[@AB714AA]

Where is this place at?

[@fairdinkumpiereviews5357]

Canada

[@kenp1665]

Is the Prado a diesel or petrol? It sez 3400 V6 on the side.

[@newcastlemusic]

The Prado is a petrol model.

[@phantomwalker8251]
