Day 34. Friday 27th July. Seisia (Making it to the tip)


Left camp at 10am and headed for Pajinka which is the furtherest most point to drive to enable the walk to "the tip" as it is referred to by tourists. After parking the car we walked along the beach  about 500 m then up onto rock face about 100 metres to the very famous sign. After many photographs we climbed back along inland track to car. We then had a celebratory drink with our lunch on a grassy spot. We drove into Bamaga to find bottle shop still closed, locals told us it was because they had no security so were unable to open it. We then had a well deserved swim at Bamaga pool before heading home via the bottle shop again ( just in case it was open) & to Jason's delight it was open, so we qued up for 15 mins to buy our supply (slab 30 VB cans $ 68!!!)  We now have a whole new appreciation for alcohol supplies !!!!!


The road to the tip, was partly through rain forest.
The success of reaching the Northern Most Point of the Australian Continent!
