At AAA Finance, we’re more than just numbers and loan approvals – we’re about helping our clients and team members live out their adventures. Many of our Austrack Finance clients already know Brian, our friendly front-desk concierge who makes the finance process seamless and stress-free. Recently, Brian swapped the office for the open road, taking an Austrack camper all the way to the very tip of Australia on a Cape York Adventure. From red-dirt tracks to remote river crossings, Cape York is a bucket-list trip for many. After making the journey, Brian has shared his top 6 things you need to take to Cape York.
6 Essentials for a Cape York Adventure
1. Essential Recovery Gear
Getting bogged or stuck is all part of the adventure, but being prepared makes all the difference. Brian recommends packing Maxtrax, snatch straps, rated shackles, and even a trusty shovel. These essentials will get you (or a fellow traveller) out of sticky situations.
2. Tool Kit & Repair Gear
Cape York’s rugged tracks can test your vehicle and trailer. A basic tool kit with sockets, spanners, pliers, and an air compressor is a must. Don’t forget some bush-repair items like duct tape, zip ties, and fencing wire – they’ve saved more than one trip from ending early.
3. UHF Radio
Mobile reception? Forget it. A UHF radio is essential for both safety and convenience. It allows you to stay in touch with your group and warn others about oncoming traffic in dusty or narrow conditions.
4. First Aid Kit (and Baby Wipes!)
Safety comes first. A well-stocked first aid kit is non-negotiable. Brian also swears by baby wipes – perfect not only for hygiene but for countless other uses around camp.
5. Research & Maps
GPS is handy, but it’s not enough. Paper maps and pre-trip research are critical for Cape York. Planning a rough itinerary helps ensure you have the right gear and enough supplies to get from point A to B safely.
6. A Sense of Adventure
Above all, Brian says the most important thing to pack is your sense of adventure. Cape York is more than a destination – it’s an unforgettable experience of Australia’s wild beauty.
