HEMA MAP CAIRNS TO COOKTOWN

If you're looking to experience Australia's stunning coastal scenery, a drive from Cairns to Cooktown is a remarkable choice. Cooktown, known for its historical significance as the place where James Cook repaired his ship and first saw a kangaroo in 1770, offers a fascinating glimpse into Australia's past. The drive, approximately five hours from Cairns, takes you through beautiful grassy savannahs teeming with native plants and wildlife.

Be prepared for a challenging trip, especially during the wet season from December to April when the weather can be extremely hot and humid, and flooding is common. Properly outfitting your 4x4, such as using a Safari snorkel, is essential for off-road travel. The Hema map of the region provides crucial information to navigate this rugged terrain, including details on Port Douglas, Mossman, Daintree, Ayton, and Helenvale, as well as the Bloomfield Track and the inland route through Mareeba.

Even though Cooktown can be difficult to access during heavy rains, the map ensures you have all the necessary information to make the most of your journey, no matter when you travel.
