North to Cape Tribulation, the coastal road is sealed bitumen. From Cape Tribulation to Cooktown the coastal road is 4WD only. The inland route from Cairns to Cooktown, the Peninsula Development Road is also completely sealed. All roads are unsealed north of Lakeland into Cape York region and 4WD vehicles are strongly recommended. Updated road conditions are available from the RACQ website and Department of Main Roads. The Gulf Savannah road is all sealed to Karumba and Gregory Downs, and is mostly a single lane. Please give way to cattle and mining trucks travelling these roads and look out for wildlife crossings. You should carry 2 spare tyres and relevant equipment as some areas are very remote.
