We sailed to the northern tip of Australia at Cape York - No 4WD required - Series 3 Episode 82
In this episode, we anchor Our Dreamtime off the northern tip of Cape York to go ashore and stand on the very top of mainland Australia. Every year thousands of eager off-roaders make the pilgrimage up the Cape in four wheel drives to ‘Tick the box’ with a photo beside the iconic sign at the top of Australia but very, very few people reach this remote spot under sail. Arriving by boat rather than on wheels gave us a nice sense of achievement and marked an important moment for us on our journey to Indonesia.
Next it was on to our anchorage at Horn Island in the Torres Strait to make final preparations for the coming five to six day passage across the Gulf of Carpentaria and Arafura Sea north to the Kai Kecil islands in Indonesia. With a number of crocodiles making their presence around the boat very obvious we were relieved no under the waterline repairs or maintenance were required this time.
Naturally, we also took the time to explore both Horn and Thursday Islands and the major role the area played in the defence of Australia in World War Two. This is the first of two episodes covering our time in Torres Strait.
