Thursday Island and Cape York

Here’s an idea for a Fly away.

Fly to Mareeba (YMBA) via Moree, Charleville and Longreach

Hop on MV Trinity for Thursday Island and Bamaga (3 days)

Return on MV Trinity (about $1500?) and 3 days or

Join a camping tour and return by 4 wheel drive to Cairns (10 to 14 days) through Cape York and outback Queensland. Accommodation from tents to motels. Cost quoted as $4,175 per person for 12 day itinerary.

Some details at Freighter Expeditions

I’ve tried ringing but no answer. Will try again this week and update.

  1. Update:
    Managed to contact MV Trinity
    They have suspended taking passengers until ? June ’22
    She suggested I ring back in May for an Update
    Another option is to do the round trip on MV Trinity then organise a tour, 4 wheel drive, camping whatever out of Cairns
    Or just fly home
    Lots of options

  2. We had some plans to get to Cape York / Horn Island / Thursday Is a couple of years back that never came off.
    Moree / Longreach / Mareeba is a good inland route if you want to avoid the Controlled Airspace and weather on the coast but I’d rather go up the coast . . . and all the way to Horn Is. 🙂

  3. Called the booking agent today 4th May
    MV Trinity is still not taking bookings and probably won’t do so until next year
    Another good idea down the drain
