Travel in Style
Cape York
Cape York covers over 207,000 square kilometres, an area almost the size of Victoria, and has a population of around only 15,000 gathered into a few small communities… this makes Cape York truly one of the last frontiers.
Vegetation is extremely varied, including eucalyptus or melaleuca forests, heathlands, and dense rainforest to open plains. Wildlife is abundant, with over 90 different mammal species, including the cuscus, tree kangaroo, dugong, and northern quoll. There are a large number of reptiles, with over 150 species, and these are often sighted. Just double this last figure and you have an idea of the abundance of birdlife on Cape York, including a few rare birds such as the palm cockatoo, golden shouldered parrot, and eclectus parrot.
With all this to offer, the Cape is certainly a world within itself, a special world to discover, so come along with Heritage Tours and experience it for yourself.
Gulf Savannah
The Gulf Savannah … The Gulf Savannah region is a safari country of golden Savannah grasslands. Encompassing an area of some 186,000 square kilometres, it is Australia as it once was. The “Outback by the Sea”, as the Gulf Savannah is also known, is a high road to adventure, a passport to history and an eye-opening experience in one unique package.
The Gulf Savannah offers the serenity of mile upon mile of untouched bush-land, historic mining towns, the unique “Gulflander” and the extraordinary “Savannahlander” trains, remote cattle stations, the pristine beauty of Lawn Hill Gorge and the fascinating Undara Lava Tubes.
