Getting Here

By Road

The road to Seisia is closed during the wet season and opens again when weather permits. This usually happens around late April or early May, with the road closing again with the coming of the wet.

Visitors may travel via the Development Road or the Telegraph Track. The condition of the Development road permits a fairly comfortable journey for 4WD vehicles and vehicles towing off-road camper trailers, caravans or boats.

The Telegraph Track is a challenging drive for 4WD vehicles only. We recommend travelling this road with full repair and safety kits. Damage to vehicles is not uncommon. However, successful travellers find this an exciting and satisfying journey.

Cape York 4 x 4 Coaches offer a road service from Cairns to Seisia. Contact Chris Townson on 0428 999 932 for schedules, availability and prices.

Please take into consideration the fact that our access roads are in a remote area, and assistance may be some hours away in an emergency.
