Cape York - Day 14, Loyalty Beach to Punsand Bay 29/06/2018
Another morning of excitement as today we finally make it to the northern most tip of Australia…
We took the shortcut from Loyalty Beach which cuts off 30 mins and another trip back through Bamaga and we soon arrived at the Croc tent where we stopped for some souvenirs and got the good oil on some of the tracks and attractions.
Next stop was the Tip and after a short but scenic drive through some rain forest we arrived at the car park. We packed our back pack with the necessary refreshments and set off o the 700m scramble up over the rocks. The views on this walk out over the ocean across to the islands were sensational and it wasn't long until we were cracking our first beers and standing by the famous sign. Once we had our fill of celebratory beers and taken all of the obligatory photo's we made our way back to the car via a different route along the coast and through some mangroves.
The guys from the Croc tent had provided us some info on the 5 beaches run and we made our way to Somerset where we checked out the graves and ruins and then had lunch on the headland before driving south via the 5 beaches. This drive was very easy but nice and scenic and we are glad we took the time to take this route back to camp. Tonight we had dinner at the bar and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the delicious wood fired pizza.
Distance travelled = 85km
