WORDS OF CAUTION FOR THe Cassowary Coast REGION

Although we are certain you will have an unforgettable experience exploring this region, we do caution you to be “FNQ-WISE.” With all this beauty comes a few things you’ll need to be mindful of. However, if you prepare, you’ll reduce your risk of winding up in an emergency situation.



– Crocodiles do roam Far North Queensland waters but that doesn’t mean you can’t swim up here. Just make sure you look for signage around the water ways you enter and check for updates on National Park websites. Our advice is: stick to the fresh water creeks where it’s running, clear and cool.



– If you come from the cities one thing you may take for granted is fuel stations on every corner. Up here they can be far and few between so make sure when you’re travelling in this region to be aware of where your next fuel station is to ensure you do not end up on the side of the road.



– Similar to fuel stations are your local convenience stores. These stores again can be far and few between plus they close EARLY, so if you’re travelling late to your campground and didn’t pack dinner, you might be left quite hungry by morning.



-This one tends to be a no-brainer but funnily enough is still often overlooked. Be prepared to have little to no phone reception. Even though you might think you’re ok not having your phone, be prepared for any emergency event. Accidents happen in our water ways, on our hiking trails and in our campgrounds so be prepared for what you’re going to do if you cannot use your phone to get help.



– When heading to a remote area make sure you check-in with someone so they know where you are. Whether it’s a family member, friend, or park ranger, if you get lost or end up in trouble with no one around you, it’s best if authorities know where to start looking for you.



– Bring amble amounts of drinking water with you. Drinking water is not always accessible and whether it’s murphey’s law or not, accessibility of drinking water always seems to become scarce when you’re running low on your own supply. So please don’t leave this one till it’s too late, stock up on your drinkable water and then bring extra!
