Pajinka Bound

Are we there yet? Where you might ask is Pajinka? It’s the indigenous word for the “Tip”. I think Mic secretly might have wanted to leave me at the Croc Tent with all the other kids young and old who are sourcing their last minute mementos to mark the special occasion. Reaching the northern most part of Australia is definitely not for the faint hearted and maybe a little annoying for the driver if you have a passenger like me asking every minute how much further is it??

Yes, without a doubt the drive is challenging!! However, when you do reach the top it’s remarkable. You feel a real sense of achievement and you realise that you can now tick another item off your bucket list. We waited until late afternoon to make the journey over the stoney path as it gave us the perfect opportunity to take it all in, without feeling rushed and got a heap of happy snaps to mark the occasion.

And of course there’s no better way to celebrate, opening a bottle of bubbly which made it all the way to the “Tip” without being broken…hip, hip hooray!
