All 4 Adventure

After an epic season last year celebrating a Decade of Dirt, Jase and Simon are back with a whole new adventure hitting more of those bucket-list destinations on the coast of Cape York. They set out from All 4 Adventure HQ on the Sunshine Coast with the mission to meet the barge at Karumba that will take their gear over to Mornington Island.

On Mornington Island, the crew spend the day with Ranger Tommy. Some rough tracks and sandy spots lead to opportunities for pulling out the recovery gear. As the sun goes down, the set up camp at Dadagun Beach, the land of Tommy's ancestors. Tommy shares more about his heritage and his totem, the thanbe or shovelnose shark.

Ranger Tommy has more for the Jase, Simon and Nige to explore on Mornington Island. Today they start at Gununa township and head down an old outstation track that Tommy hasn't been on in 20 years. It leads them right to a soft tidal plain which means the Jase and his big 79 series break through the crust, so it's time to break out the recovery gear. He pops out just as the tide starts coming in, and so they make a break for higher ground. After another saltwater crossing and some 4wding through the scrub, the track opens up to the cliff on the coast which looks like the perfect spot for camp.

While the boys have a little time left on Mornington Island, they have to check out a secret fishing spot they learned from the rangers. To get there, they have to cross the salt pans and take the quads and tinnies to find a launch point. The effort to get there is worth it with mangrove jack, queenies and fingermark on the bite. Back at camp, Jase cooks up his famous tuna bake, which Simon declares is ‘exceptional'.

The boys are welcomed to Cape York‘s East coast by traditional owner C.J. with a smoking ceremony. Then they are headed out to meet up with an old mate P.J. who has an old gold mine to show the team. However, getting up P.J.'s driveway is a mission in itself and the boys might have to leave the trailers behind to get there. He may have the steepest driveway in Cape York, but it's worth the effort to be able to enjoy his epic front yard.

The boys are heading out from Laura and taking the Starcke Track out to find a historic wreck site, but this area is just drying out from the biggest wet they've had in 20 years. So getting down that track is going to be a challenge the boys are happy to take! Tackling water crossings, overgrown tracks, ruts, holes and more, the boys work up an appetite. So Jase whips up his Swagman's Beef and Ginger Stew.
