Sadd Point
It is one of the remotest places in Cape York, and also one of its best kept secrets.
It is even further in than the already remote Ussher Point - there is a left-hand turnoff along the track.
It is quite a long drive but it's all worth it.
It first goes through some dry woodland,
... but finally, after going past some lakes,
... turns into rainforest.
As you get to Sadd Point,
... there is a lovely shady rainforest pocket,
... which over the years, has seen many different bush decorations and creations by campers :-)
The track continues to the beach, but gets too boggy to drive.
There are magnificent views from up the cliff,
... as well as down at the river mouth.
The red rocks and white sands make great photos on a sunny day.
You can continue walking to the beach, which is also beautiful with its white sands and bright blue waters.
It's a great spot if you brought
your boat - some large tuna, mackerel,
queenfish,
trevally and
salmon have been
caught here, only to name the latest.
Sadd
Point Back Tracks
There are some back tracks in
the area,
... and over the years we have
been trying to find the tracks from Sadd Point to Turn Cliffs, Sharp
Point and out to the Escape River.
It is not always easy, some of these
tracks are overgrown and not often visited, so you may need a chain saw.
But once you get to the end of the western ones, you
get out to the Escape River,
... named after Jackey Jackey's
escape on the Kennedy
expedition.
