If you want to say you've been to the northern most point of the Australian continent, you have to anchor at Cape York! There are 2 short trails that scramble over the rocky headland and a sign to pose by for pictures. A red dirt 4x4 road leads to this point from land. It makes for pleasant walking and you can see fields of large termite mounds if you walk out on it for about 15 minutes. On the approach to the anchorage, note that there is shoal water as you pass the western side of York Island- you actually want to stay close to the western side of York island for the deepest water. We saw 9 feet at low tide. Once inside the anchorage, the depth increases again. There is a lot of current in this anchorage but the holding seemed good in sand. Beach the dinghy on the beach and note that the tide exposes a lot of beach when it goes out!
