HEMA CAPE YORK ATLAS & GUIDE - TRACK #8

The overnight return trip from Archer River Roadhouse to Cape Weymouth is not a challenge when dry, but the drive into Kutini-Payamu (Iron Range) National Park can become difficult after rain. This return trip was from Portland Roads to Cape Weymouth and Chili Beach, down to Lockhart River and back along Portland Roads before meeting again with the Peninsula Developmental Road.

Kutini-Payamu is home to the largest remaining area of lowland rainforest in Australia, making the drive into the park a scenic one.
