GRADING: As far as tracks throughout Cape York go, the trip to Kutini-Payamu is straightforward, only requiring AWD more often than not.
THE DRIVE: The drive isn't a difficult one, other than some creek crossings that can be rocky. It's worth taking a walk around the Batavia Gold Mine ruins, and spending some time camping at Rainforest, Gordon Creek, Cooks Hut and Chili Beach.

Hema - CREB Track (Daintree to Cooktown)
135.2 kmFOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS TRACK, PLEASE REFER TO OUR CAPE YORK ATLAS & GUIDE: http://bit.ly/capeguide
GRADING: This track requires low range, high ground clearance, traction aids and recovery gear. The CREB Track shouldn't be attempted after rain due to the red clay that makes up most of its length.
THE DRIVE: 60km through deep rainforest along steep tracks make the CREB one of the best and most challenging 4WD tracks in North Queensland. Linking Daintree and Cooktown, it's a baptism of fire for many travellers seeking the Tip of Cape York. The first 15km are easy, winding through rainforest with great views and waterfalls along the way. Once you get into the McDowall Range though, the CREB Track shows its true colours.

Hema - Old Telegraph Track South
94.2 kmFOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS TRACK, PLEASE REFER TO OUR CAPE YORK ATLAS & GUIDE: http://bit.ly/capeguide
GRADING: This track requires low range, high ground clearance, traction aids and recovery gear, and contains deep creek crossings and slippery, steep river banks.
THE DRIVE: The southern section of the Old Telegraph Track can take one to two days, depending on your personal preference and the OTT's seasonal track conditions. The first major obstacle is Palm Creek, followed by Ducie Creek, Dulhunty River, Bertie Creek, Gunshot, Cockatoo Creek and Sailor Creek - leaving little wonder as to why it's one of Australia's most famed tracks. Palm Creek and Gunshot are the most challenging crossings, while the Dulhunty offers plenty of swimming opportunities before ending the track at Fruit Bat Falls.
