Cape York Peninsula

but really wanted to see ‘the tip’ so i set off hitch hiking .. words cannot begin to capture the rugged beauty and raw isolation i found along the way.

from the stunning cave art in laura to the young torres strait islanders pulling fish after fish out of the sparkling blue ocean on seisia pier, it is a place of spirit, timelessness, beauty .. magic!

i would love to go back with my camera and capture the shift from dry to wet, the southern cross arc gracefully across the night sky, the faces of the indigenous peoples and the stories untold.

i would love to pluck another perfect nautilus shell from among the beach flotsam, see the giant magnetic termite mounds, drink from a waterfall, and instead of nervously by foot, cross the jardine by ferry .. wow, times have changed!

I spent a couple of weeks riding two up on a motorcycle travelling through Cape York many years ago – one of the best adventures I have ever had!! It was late in the season, which was fine except the ferry had stopped so we had to cross the Jardine on our own.

I’d love to go back though I am certain that now it’s changed a lot. Still the countryside is beautiful.

Northernmost point on the Australian mainland.
