Summary
Weather for Cape York

Cape York Peninsula is a wild and sparsely populated wilderness area located on the northern most tip of Australia. It is only accessible during the dry months of April to December

The dusty tracks contrast dramatically with the abundant river systems, crystal clear creeks and spectacular waterfalls. This is a vast area of unexplored wilderness, magnificent national parks, sacred Aboriginal sites, unexplored rainforest, rugged mountains and swampy marshlands fringed by the coral gardens of the Great Barrier Reef.

The towns in this region include Cooktown, Weipa and Thursday Island.
