Today, celebrate being among the most northerly landscapes on the Australian continent as you wind along a 4WD track to Frangipani Beach, on the western side of Cape York, just below the tip. Later, continue to historic Somerset Hill, the site of a station established by John Jardine in 1863 — the first European settlement on Cape York. From Somerset Beach, enjoy fine views of Albany Island, just offshore. Here, learn the stories of ‘Jackey Jackey’, an early Indigenous guide, and Frank Jardine, the son of the station’s founder, who became the local police magistrate and was involved in numerous killings of Indigenous people.
