ABANDONED CAPE YORK TRACK – Stranded for days in 2M+ tall scrub & croc infested crossings

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Stranded for days in 2M+ tall scrub & croc infested crossings. We set out chasing paradise... but did we just find the opposite?

This was meant to be the trip of a lifetime - pushing forgotten tracks from west to east, deep in Cape York. Locals say it’s impossible to reach… and now we’re starting to believe them.

Come say G’day to Jocko & Graham at the Melbourne National 4x4 and Outdoors Show August 22-24! 👉🏻 https://bit.ly/Melbourne4x4Show2025

With over 200km of low-range already behind us, we’ve been battling black soil, endless winching, and bog holes that haven’t seen a tyre in years. But now… Sooty’s gone down.

We’re not even halfway. And with over 100km of brutal terrain still to go, it’s only getting worse - with tracks swallowing rigs whole & a hill climb ahead that could stop the whole mission in its tracks.

The hours are ticking. The options are thinning. Until we figure out a better plan, all we can do is dig.

This is Cape York like you’ve never seen it.
