Seisia is the first settlement west of Cape York and the
place all the 4WD Australians head for when they want to sea the most northerly
point of Australia. We stayed there for 4 nights. It was a good anchorage once
you got in, but a bit shallow on the approach channel, so the timing has to be
right.
 Cape York - the most northerly point of
mainland Australia.
 Just one boat in the anchorage when we
arrived. She left the following day and we had
the anchorage
to ourselves, apart from
some local workboats that had been left on buoys.
 Looking across to the beach from our anchor
position.
 Lots of 4WD cars/vans/coaches that have made
it to the top end of Australia. The
distances are
huge and pretty rugged
vehicles are needed.
 Anchored on our own once again. The workboat
behind us was on a buoy and was left
unattended
the whole time we were
there.
 The beach we landed the dinghy. You are
advised not to dilly-dally when getting in and
out of the
dinghy.
 Inviting! A lovely beach for a
swim?
 Perhaps not! There's a manorial for one
person who tried it!
 The soil is very red - crossing the
car park heading off to the small supermarket.
  Returning with bags full. Considering it's
only a small community, the small supermarket
was surprisingly well stocked.
 A local boat. All the local boats were left
well above the high-water mark.
