Bah !
I went to the very tip with 5 friends in January 2000, right in the high
wet season. We had no trouble at all with the roads either going up or
coming down the Cape and it only took about three hours each way. The
Brasilia handled the trip beautifully even though it rained most of the
way back.

Tim,
Re travelling to Cape York in the two weeks before Christmas.
You may get up there Tim. If you do it means that the wet will
not have started in earnest, and the chances are that you may not get
back for a month or three unless you leave your vehicle where it bogs or
is washed away, walk a few hundred ks to Weipa, Bamaga or Lockhart River
and fly out.
If by Cape York you mean Cairns and north to about Port
Douglas/Cooktown you could be OK.
Some of the specials you mention can be seen from Kingfisher
Lodge,(or Park) a dedicated birders motel at Julatten, acessable from
Cairns on a sealed road, only occassionally subject to flooding.
Good Luck
Michael
