Most Northern Point of Australia
Highlights
The most northern tip of Australia (Pajinka) is a must-do Aussie Bucket List destination located at the tip of the Cape York Peninsula in Far North Queensland.
There are three walking trails to access the tip of Australia sign, the top one being the most common one from the car park, and the bottom and side tracks which are dependent upon the tides. Be mindful of the slippery rocks.
When you get to ‘The Tip’, there are views of two islands. One of the islands in view to your left is Yorke Island and Eborac Island is to the right. Frangipani Bay is located to the west.

Guidelines
- Always do some research before heading out for your journey. Visit the local visitor information centre for the most up to date information.
- Stay safe and get the most out of your visit by preparing for natural hazards and other outdoor risks. You are responsible for your own safety and the safety of those in your care.
- Wear suitable footwear and ensure to wear appropriate clothing to protect yourself from the elements when outside exploring.
- Plan ahead and ensure to take enough food, fuel and water for your journey.
- Always stay on the marked tracks where possible. Never climb fences, they are there for your own safety.
- Please consider the environment, take your rubbish with you or place in the bins provided. We want to ensure these beautiful places are still here for our future generations to enjoy.
- Ensure to let a responsible adult know of your plans and report back into them once you have finished exploring for the day.
- National park fees may apply for national parks in Australia. Check the parks website for bookings and/ or further details.
You should also note that some remote regions have limited mobile coverage, making it useful to set up an eSIM card before you travel. Reliable connectivity helps you confirm weather updates, navigate safely, and stay in touch with the person monitoring your plans. Careful preparation supports a safer and more rewarding journey while helping protect the landscapes you’re exploring.
