Ask and ye shall recieve.

Well, when your up here next time, make sure you have a couple of spare days up your sleeve and something might be arranged so one can see some of these things.

Another sunrise off the east coast of Cape York

[xina]

WOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Any cheap Shacks up there Geoff? Seriously!!!
Cheers,
xina.

[geoffjy]

No shacks for about 90km where this pic was taken. Plenty of room to pitch a tent though.

[campdog]

Id love to get a shot like that one.Still dreaming.
We do get some good east coast sunrises here every now and then but not like the cape.

I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes i forget that though. Until i get down to the big smoke anyway, then i cant wait to get back.

You cold take a sunset pic everyday and no 2 would be the same. Its great.

[geoffjy]

You definitelty have the touch Campdog. Great pics mate.

Jardine River Sunset

Where would be the nearest one Geoff ?

Shack or Pic? The nearest pic was taken at the Jardine River. As for the nearest shack, there are none for sale but a couple north of Mutte Heads that you could use. There are none down the east coast.

[Stacky]

Nice shot,
awesome colour.

[xina]

Any chance of really buying a shack Geoff?
Cheers,
xina.

All jokes aside, at present there is no freehold land available on the mainland up here. The nearest freehold would have to be on Prince of Wales, Thursday Island or Horn Island. And land and housing up here is very expensive too.

For interests sake, you can have a look at torresstraitrealestate.com.au
or weiparealestate.com.au
Prices are nuts - a 800 sq. m block of land on POW, where there is no power, travel to TI by dinghy, is for sale for $225 000 - and then you would have to build something with appropriate cyclone rating. The last of the cheap places on Prince of Wales Island was sold a few months ago - a very basic shack on Long Beach, about 45 mins by boat to TI, on 2 acres, went for $300 000. Would have made a great fishing tour operation base. They're now asking over $500 000. Still seem to be some cheap little places further south around Rossville.

[xina]

Thanks Barney. Don't worry, I've already been looking at Rossville and all around those areas. Just hoped there might be something further North.
Cheers,
xina.
