GRADING: This track requires low range and high ground clearance.

THE DRIVE: This trip usually takes two days or more, running from the Jardine River Ferry to Ussher Point. The track is often tight, with overhanging rainforest pressing in on you as you make your way out to the coast. There are numerous wrecks which line the coast, which makes it good for beachcombing. There's also great fishing opportunities for anyone with a rod, with a lack of fishing pressure making a good catch never too far away.

GRADING: This track requires low range, high ground clearance, traction aids and recovery gear.

THE DRIVE: The northern section of Cape York's Old Telegraph Track runs from Bamaga Road to the Jardine River Ferry. Fruit Bat Falls is a must-visit detour to the right at the beginning of the track. After this point, the track runs straight until the turnoff for Eliot, Twin and Indian Head Falls, after which comes Canal Creek. This section of the track is one of the best parts of Cape York, with the waterfalls making an ideal photographic and swim spot, and Canal Creek offers a clear, deep blue crossing that winds to the left to avoid the washed out gullies of the old exit to the right. After Canal is Sam Creek, then the more difficult Mistake Creek, followed by the reasonably simple Cannibal Creek crossing. From here is a long drive to the biggest obstacle south of the Jardine: Nolan's Brook. After Nolan's, the track continues north to the old Jardine River ford, or the turnoff to the Bamaga Rd to catch the Jardine Ferry.

GRADING: This track requires low range, high ground clearance, traction aids and recovery gear, and contains deep creek crossings and slippery, steep river banks.

THE DRIVE: The southern section of the Old Telegraph Track can take one to two days, depending on your personal preference and the OTT's seasonal track conditions. The first major obstacle is Palm Creek, followed by Ducie Creek, Dulhunty River, Bertie Creek, Gunshot, Cockatoo Creek and Sailor Creek - leaving little wonder as to why it's one of Australia's most famed tracks. Palm Creek and Gunshot are the most challenging crossings, while the Dulhunty offers plenty of swimming opportunities before ending the track at Fruit Bat Falls.

THE DRIVE: Ideal as either a day trip or overnighter, Frenchmans Track is a challenging and scenic track that is rife with stony and slippery surfaces, steep grades and deep river crossings. It is worth combining this trip with a drive out to Kutini Payamu National Park.

GRADING: This track requires low range and high ground clearance, with steep-banked dry creek crossings.

THE DRIVE: The track begins on the Peninsula Development Road (PDR) just north of Laura, with a large sign for Jowalbinna marking the turn. The track heads through open woodlands, which are broken by sandstone escarpments carved by water and wind. There are plenty of steep grades, rough surfaces and rock steps on offer throughout, which makes this one of Cape York's most epic and more traditional tracks.

GRADING: This track requires low range, high ground clearance, traction aids and recovery gear. The CREB Track shouldn't be attempted after rain due to the red clay that makes up most of its length.

THE DRIVE: 60km through deep rainforest along steep tracks make the CREB one of the best and most challenging 4WD tracks in North Queensland. Linking Daintree and Cooktown, it's a baptism of fire for many travellers seeking the Tip of Cape York. The first 15km are easy, winding through rainforest with great views and waterfalls along the way. Once you get into the McDowall Range though, the CREB Track shows its true colours.
