… We hope to develop a walking trail network of some 2,000 kilometres (about 1,250 miles), which will pass along the Eastern Cape York Peninsula.
This is one of the last pristine tropical regions in the world. It is wild, beautiful and presently largely trackless and inaccessible. The coast has many stunning tropical beaches lapped by the azure blue Coral Sea, with the Great Barrier Reef running the closest it gets to the Queensland Coastline. ….
You can help with this project by filling out a short, fairly painless survey linked from the home page. (click the survey START button)
Eventually the network of trails could be connected into one of the greatest long hikes anywhere.

This would include some great country but there are a few problems. Access will be a pain, this is country where a 4WD is a necessity and there aren’t a lot of places to replenish food etc. The major problem will be having a trail that is safe. This country gets high rainfall, which means most people will only do it during the dry winter season. The trail will still need to survive the wet. Most difficult is it will need to either avoid swamps or be constructed with boardwalks, as crocodiles will be a major problem. This will make track building expensive.
Their best bet is to start with 5 or 6 days through the best part, set up in a way that suits companies that will provide access. The success of the South Coast Track in Tasmania shows that people are prepared to pay to do something that is worth it.
