Video of the Week :: 4WDs flooded in Cape York

Australia is heaven to an overlander, with thousands of rough gravel tracks in vast open spaces that can get even the most experienced off-roader sweating under the collar.

Cape York, a large peninsula in the most northern point of Australia, is a popular destination for many off-roaders and four-wheel drive enthusiasts. Cape York has an abundance of unspoiled wilderness with savannahs, tropical rainforests, and the infamous Frenchmans Track. This track is usually completed in the dry season, when both the Wenlock and Pascoe croc-infested rivers are at their lowest, making it a relatively easy trail (if experienced), but of course, the team at 4WD 24-7 would be tackling the track when the rivers are almost bursting at their banks.

Driving a range of vehicles from new Toyota Land Cruisers, old farm Cruisers, and an Isuzu D-Max to a Nissan Patrol along with a Maverick camping trailer, all the vehicles manage to complete the track with all but one vehicle going on its own steam.

With lots of fun, laughter, and camaraderie between the guys, I’m looking forward to enjoying their next adventure.

Luisa Bell has always had a passion for travel, but she never imagined that she would travel the world, with her family, in a self-built Land Rover Defender camper. As the navigator, administrator, and penetrator of bureaucracy, she has led her family to over 65 countries on five continents. Luisa is the wife of Graeme, and their quarter-century together feels like a full century in overlander years. Her two kids and her dog are her pride and joy, and if she could travel with them indefinitely, she would. With a background in immigration law, she has the ability to make the impossible possible and has no plan of settling down or retiring her full-time traveler status.
