Punsand Bay "The Tip of Cape York"

Sunday, Sept. 21

Today we embark on the ultimate goal of our journey up the old telegraph track. The northern most tip of mainland Australia.
We started by crossing the sandy track that masquerades as a shortcut from Punsand Bay to “The Tip”.

We hiked through the old resort boardwalks over the top of the bluff to the tip and spent some time taking in the ambience and lots of photos.

Windy as it was, the weather was about to take a turn for the worse.

After following a “well marked” shortcut around the bluff and back onto the beach requiring several reco’s by Mike and myself to find the track, we finally made it back to the cars, although a little wetter for the effort.

We returned to camp.
