- Get ready to experience THE REAL CAPE YORK in all its natural beauty and wonder!
FILM & SHARE a story of your favourite part of this video and tag me on instagram @_tiffanylawrence
Now we've all seen the infamous GUNSHOT & Old Tele Track done a million times over and yes, although it is a huge achievement to push your car to its max and get through those wild tracks. For some, the off-roading experience isn't about the hard core 4wding. It's the lifestyle of camping and getting to beautiful places (with your car in one piece), to enjoy the sunsets by a campfire and sleeping under the million stars at night.
So here's a Cape York experience from a novice overlander's point of view and how you can experience it without a $200k+ set-up.
One thing that shocked me about this trip to the tip was how FRIGGEN BEAUTIFUL this place is! I can't wait share Part 2 of our trip with you and share the epic camp spots we found!
Now I bet you're all wondering where is my FJ?
As I've previously mentioned the FJ is my daily and isn't set up enough just yet to do a huge trip like this. Overlander offered me this opportunity to drive the car up here as they have a booking request from Cairns in a few weeks time and this trip was for me to create content for them, which is part of my job as a digital marketer and content creator. :)
Thanks for watching!

Awesome 👌 I've been wanting to go to the Cape since 1990, I'm doing it in 2023.
That’s such exciting news!!! Wow what a change you’ll see with such a big gap between visits.
@@TiffanyLawrence I'm looking forward to your next instalment.
Great content yet again Tiffany. Unlike a couple other Aussie adventure channels, you have kept it real without saturated sponsor content, looking forward to Part 2. Stay safe.
Thank you :)
Another great video!! Your drone footage looks good and has definitely improved!! 👍
Thanks for watching 😊
Great vid! And your music choices suited the locations.
And loved the sign off:
"watch out the girls are coming for the tip again!" ☺️
Thanks for the feed back 😊
Drone shots is very eyes catching good 👍🏻

Great content 🤙 thermocells are a must in the tropics, no mozzies in sight with them firing.
Very true! Thanks for watching. New vlog goes up tonight!!
Beautiful part of the world.
it sure is!
10 out of 10. I've been following your content for a couple of years now and that has to be my favorite episode. Keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
Loved this vid so much. The drone shots were incredible. The landscapes amazing. This trip is on my bucket list for sure!! Good stuff Tiff!!! Bring on part 2.
thanks for watching :)
Stunning vid as usual Tiffany 👌
Thank you. Another stunning location 😊
Years ago (back in the 1970's) two guys called the Leyland brothers (Mike and Mal) crossed the creek where the barge is now.
Their video is online. This is highly recommended viewing for anyone attempting to 4wd to the tip.
Yeah, It seems to be a money grabbing exercise everything you do these days. No choice to accept it. I will go watch the Leyland Brothers now. Thanks.
Hey Martin,
The Leyland brothers. That’s a while ago and was something to look forward to every week as a kid.
Cheers
Out There Touring
Will have to go find it. Thanks for the recommendation :)
Smashing it girls
Thanks for watching 😊
Makes me want to do a trip up there. Great video
Oh you must!!! It’s so beautiful 😍
Awesome Tropical adventure. Thanks for sharing the video. Will be making the trip soon this summer ! Cant wait ...
Enjoy :)
What a great road trip ! The scenery is so beautiful. I would love to go to Cape York next time I am back in FNQ. Great vlog !🏝🙌🙌
Thanks for watching :)
Thanks Tiffany for sharing your trip to the tip. Looks like an amazing adventure. Cheers.
Thanks for watching :)
oh wow! congrats on your trip! how exciting !! 🏞️🛻🤙😎📹
Thank you! 😃
Fantastic Drone Work. 😍
Thank you! Cheers!
Such a beautiful part of the world. I can’t wait to do this trip down the track. Love the drone footage too 😃
You should!
Superb videography in my opinion. And I agree on the coconut palms and beach as an attraction up there. A pleasure to watch your perspective on everything. Cheers, It would be rude not to. 😊
Hahaha it really would be 😂 thanks for watching
@@TiffanyLawrence hi Tiffany Lawrence how are you doing today baby love you so much baby
Fab job girls! Looks like such a good trip :) 🌸🌸
It was such a fun adventure!!
Great Video again!!! Mark👍
Thanks for watching :)
Gday, Awesome video of your trip.
Thanks for watching Martin 😊
Keep up the great adventures. Enjoy all that Australia offers.
Yes the country is beautiful and the people are awesome.
Gday Tiffany, this really is a beautiful part of Australia, one day I will make it up there, I really appreciate you bringing us along on the journey, great video and throughly enjoyed watching, cheers
You are so welcome!
Loved it ..just keeping it real..well done
Thanks for watching :)
Great video Tiff. You make the 'trip to the tip' look easy. The Hilux looked pretty standard - no lift, big tyres or winch. Other channels make out you need a heavily modded 4x4 to 'tackle' the cape. Was great to see a couple of chicks do it in a rented base Hilux.
Thanks
Thanks for watching!! My new vlog just went live from my recent adventure 😊
Fantastic video Tiffany I'm going to the tip next year and I'm taking my FJ and looking forward to it. See the next video 😄
Thanks so cool! Might see you up there!
Two beautiful women on a mission. Awesome to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video
Thanks for watching 😊
Hey mate first time watching your channel absolutely loved it .you rock thank you
Thanks so much for watching 😊
So good!
Such a beautiful place 😍
Go the girls, yeeeeeew❤️☺️
Thanks for watching :)
No dust got into #Smoky60Series.. they don’t make them like the used to. We had dirt to Weipa and back and then for the next few 1000 Km in 2001. Interesting to see it all again, thanks to you both…
Oh wow! Thanks for watching
Nice video 🍻
Unfortunately Aussie the emu was involved in a hit and run and did not survive, will miss him sneaking up and looking over your shoulder 😪
Oh no! sorry to hear that!
beautiful, scenery's not bad either.
Thanks for watching :)
To stop the dust in the canopy, you need a vent in the top pushing air in so it pushes air out through the seals. A good seal kit on the tailgate will also help.
Thanks for the tip :)
Thanks you answered my earlier question, maybe I sent it a bit early in the tape
No problemo 😊
Hey Tiffany nice video! Did you pass many vehicles travelling upto the tip regularly or would you say it is a bit isolated?
Hey Justin, Great question! We did pass a lot of fellow travellers on the road as we went in peak season. It is very isolated if you break something and need a part shipped or car towed. we met so many people who were stranded at the road houses waiting 5 days - 14 days. In saying that though if a car is broken down people usually stop to see if they can help you in any way.
Great content. Very scenic locations. Enjoyed every minute of it. It would be good if you can provide (via on-screen caption), the name of the locations you show or visit on your VLOGs. That way if we like what we've seen, we can do more research on them online and potentially visit. Keep the excellent content coming.👍
Ok next time :)
Great video. What time of the year did you go and did you need to book the campsites? I'm planning a trip to the tip in 2025 on the PDR. How do I get an itinerary of where you visited and where you stayed? I'll be 67 years old then and I will be taking a friend who will be 82 years old and I won't be doing the old telegraph track. Cheers.
Tiff.......we didn't see you cross one creek/river......not even a puddle...... Do you drive a Toorak Tractor or a Double Bay off roader? Lets see some action.
You need to watch part 2 then!!! ;)
Mind if I ask, how long did it take you to drive from Cairns to Cape York and back?
w00t!!
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great information about what to expect on a trip to the tip and in a way sub $200k rig, even sub $100k, mines probably sub $60k including a camper… looks like the fridge is the most important camping item, yeah got two of…
Thanks for the comment :) The overlander cars are such a great set up option for international travellers wanting to see more of Australia. Fridge, snorkel and fresh water were musts for the cape!.
What river were you driving beside with the crocs…? After Wajul before the Den….
yeah i believe that's the one
Hey Tiffany,
Just come across your comment and couldn’t agree more. I just returned from Fraser Island and my rule is leave it better than you found it. Videos to be released in about 7weeks
Have a look at my set up and videos when release
Cheers
Out There Touring
So true. Thanks for watching 😊🙌🏻
Hi Tiffany I was wondering with all the places you have been to have you ever come across any snakes and if so what kind and I love watching your videos and you sure are one Beautiful Lady.
I have in Rockhampton. I saw a red belly black snake in byfeild national park. Apart from that been pretty lucky haven’t come across them.
Looking at all the dust in the rear tub,I’m glad the engine airbox isn’t in there. #Toyotadyson. 😁
Hahah yep 😂
The 4.0L 1GR-FE airbox may as well be. My V6 Prado air filter was the same colour as the reddest sections of the PDR & so was my MAF. Swapped the air filter & cleaned the MAF when I got home after 6,500km, but no known difference to fuel consumption or power when both were filthy that I noticed.
Why didn’t you take the fj ?
Hey John, I explained in the video why I didn’t take the fj 😊
What was your total fuel bill to the tip and back?
$783.54 back with 1/4 of a tank left 😊
That's not too bad, even with current fuel prices.
I drove from Brisbane to Perth 20 odd years ago for about the same amount.
@@martinfinn674 this is true. Diesel was $2.83 in bramwell which was what I was paying on the Gold Coast for unleaded a few weeks ago! Thankfully prices here are back down to $1.60.
Did you carry much fuel in jerry cans for the tip trip (sounds better than doing a tip run) LOL.
Must link you to our 2001 trip up here, not as goog as yours.. #FlickrSpelio
would of been a whole different place back then
Who is that hot stud with the mustache at the waterfall at 9:20 ???
haha spotto?
How are people meant to get experience unless they do it? The first 4WD trip I did was Cape York many years ago and I learnt by doing it. I have since done it several times and many tougher tracks since. I enjoyed your vlog but please offer sensible advice.
Thanks for the feed back. If you read the caption below this video. My intention for this video was to make it for the people who don’t want to do the hard core off roading. International travellers who are hiring a 4wd for the first time in Australia but still enjoy want to enjoy what the cape has to offer safely and under the cars insurance agreements. Enjoy your travels 😊
2 hot girls in a hilux 👌
winning ! hahah
You should probably advise people to only attempt this journey with a 4wd and in the dry season.
This is also very true but I’d say if people are doing the trip they would be putting in enough research to know what time of year is better to do so.
I wouldn't want to guarantee the planning ability of every person who travel on 4wd tracks in Australia.
@@martinfinn674
Agree
But if Tiffany’s video was a
27 minute waffle of reading out a PDS full of disclaimers, nobody would watch it.
Tiffany is not responsible for the dumb actions / behaviour of idiots who think you can easily drive from Cairns to Cape York, in one day, in a Corolla… 🤷🏻♂️
@@StephenFogarty2023 I agree.
However, to those of lesser intellect, the obvious must be stated.
I am happy to make these statements on behalf of the girls.
@@martinfinn674
That’s nice of u
But
U can only help, or do so much Martin.
U can’t save everyone…
Killing it in that red bikini
Yeww
I'd rather be there than here.
Such a beautiful place
Made more beautiful by both of you being there. 😇
Great video
Thanks for watching 😊
