One of Australia's biggest bucket list items is a trip to Australia most northern point, Pajinka (commonly referred to as 'The Tip'). Surrounded by the beautiful turquoise waters of the Torres Strait and white sandy beaches the Northern Peninsula Area is rich with culture and beauty. Home to both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, the region represents an end of the road for most travellers but offers so much.
