Our Favourites
Stand at the northern most point of mainland Australia – Cape York
Hire a boat and explore the Torres Strait
Swim in the pristine waters of Fruit Bat Falls and Twin Falls
Try your luck fishing for Barramundi in Weipa
Cape York Peninsula is truly Australia’s last frontier – 115,000 square kilometres of untamed wilderness and rainforest, sacred Aboriginal sites and rugged mountains that can’t be seen anywhere else. Fish for Barramundi, get involved in turtle conservation or follow in the footsteps of Australia’s early explorers. Visit ancient rock art, memorable pubs and spectacular natural scenery. And of course, you can't miss standing on the tip of mainland Australia.
Drive along red outback roads and make your way to the mining town of Weipa to relax overlooking the Gulf of Carpentaria. One of the best spots for fishing is in Weipa as it has the perfect coastal location and the fish are plentiful. Learn about Aboriginal culture and discover the Authentic Aboriginal artwork at the Western Cape Cultural Centre.
next on the itinerary are the small Aboriginal coastal communities of Bamaga and Seisia. Walk along the jetty in Seisia or hire a boat and explore the fascinating torres Strait. take the ferry over to thursday Island, a three square kilometre patch of paradise. Visit the Gab titui Cultural Centre which houses a modern gallery that displays the cultural history of the islands or wander around town and have lunch at one of the local pubs before catching the ferry back to the mainland.
