Cape York Journal
Description
From Cairns to the tip of Australia, this journal follows your family's actual route, with a page for every stop along the way.
Cape York isn't a destination you stumble into. It's corrugated roads, river crossings, and some of the most remote country in Australia, and this journal is built for that trip specifically, not a generic "big lap" journal with Cape York's name slapped on it.
What's inside:
- A page for every location - from Cairns through to the Tip, with what the place is known for, what to look out for, and space for your kid's own journal entry
- Track Your Trip - a daily kilometre tracker so kids can watch the distance add up (and start understanding just how far this trip actually is)
- Tick and flick spotting pages - wildlife, landmarks, things you'll actually see on the road
- A trip map and a Telegraph Track tick-off, for the families tackling it
- Plain lined pages for the stuff that doesn't fit in a box, bad jokes, complaints about the heat, whatever they want to write

What makes this different from a normal notebook
Our journals are designed specifically for kids exploring Australia. With guided prompts, themed sections, and thoughtful layouts, they help your children learn and capture the kinds of moments that often get forgotten once the trip is over.
What if my child loses interest after the first few pages
Our road trip journals are designed so kids can fill them in a little at a time throughout the trip. Each section focuses on a different part of the adventure, the places you visit, favourite moments, and things they spot along the way so it feels fresh and exciting rather than repetitive
Is this something kids can do on their own?
Most kids can complete many parts of the journal independently, especially drawing, colouring, and simple prompts. Younger children may enjoy filling it in together with parents, which often becomes a special end-of-day travel tradition.
