It is an exciting time to travel after the wet season has finished. The rivers, gorges, water crossings and waterfalls are all in action, waiting for us.

The schedule of places we visit can change depending on weather, access, road closures, Government guidelines and time etc but like you we want to get to as many as possible.

THE OLD TELEGRAPH TRACK - OTT
follows the original telegraph line through the Peninsula, and for much of the Cape’s history was the only available route.

The OTT is a rough road, 4WD access only and a 4WD enthusiasts' playground.  It's only accessible during the dry season. It passes through some beautiful country with several creek and river crossings, and there are several patches of deep sand. Bush camps are set up at most creek crossings.

The OTT is an integral part of this memorable journey providing adventure, tradition and stunning scenery.

*Sky Road Trail only drive along low risk sections of the OTT but man are they FUN & includes low level water crossings and creeks.


BLOOMFIELD TRACK
