I found the locals up around Bamaga/ Seisa/
Injinoo pretty friendly and it is in no way threatening. This might be due to the hard handed alcohol restrictions because I know in the early 80s there was a lot of grog being drunk up there which caused a fair bit of trouble, for both black fellas and white fellas.
I noticed many locals work for the Council but I was a bit disappointed the local Community isn't taking advantage of the influx of tourists and the tourist dollar. Even a couple of signs to Pajinka wouldn't go astray.
The sorry sight of the abandoned resort at the top and the
tourist information centre that doesn't open sticks in my mind.
I love the Cape but I won't hurry back to
Bamaga unless I need to for repairs. We really enjoyed camping at
Somerset and the drive south along the beaches to
Lake Wicheura. Mutee Head campiing and out at the mouth of the
Jardine is a great place to get away from the world.
