I didn't want to go just anywhere for my 60th, so I chose
Cape York.
Dirt, dust and corrugations...no wineries, no rolling hills, no swimming beaches but with too many things to do and friendly with a lot of laid back people.
The time of season was perfect; end of August. We stayed at a number of picturesque
camping areas...took a day cruise to Thursday Island...so much to see on a full circle of this historical island.
I loved it at
the tip. It was great. It was a magical 60th birthday and something really special with my wife.
Any birthday destinations to share!

Way to go Mick,
I was living and working on Thursday Island when I had my 60th.
What a great day. Fresh Dugong, Turtles, Coral trout and Crayfish.
Thought I'd died and gone to heaven.
They sure know how to party and feast up there.
Spent two years there but with only 7 kilometres of roads got a bit island bound
and needed my cruiser and the outback back again so came home ofter that.
Life is too short to not enjoy.
Cheers.

Had my 50th in Las Vegas.
Grand Canyon in winter - magic!
My family organised a great BIG surprise family and friends event for my 60th here in FNQ (home).
Looks like I may have my 65th on the steps at Centrelink! LOL !!

My son and I had our birthdays, 30th & 60th in PNG walking the Kokoda Track. A good bonding session that was.

I had my 50th in the Chichester SF, at the foot of the Barringtons, NSW.
there were 60 family and friends. There was a roast dinner cooked for all in the
camp ovens, a great little river running beside the
camp site, thousands of acres of bush to play in and the serenity.
It was a great atmosphere and everyone had fun.

For the actual day we went out with some mates 4wding and came across a big boghole the blocked our path.
My car was the only one that got cleanly threw it - and that made for much ribbing and a memorable birthday indeed.
Perfect Boghole

Thanks for your replies.
Your replies are truly awesome...all birthdays spent doing special things and all seemed to be great fun.
It's important to go out and do something let alone what you REALLY want to do.
It's nice to find contentment and appreciation travelling in this wonderful country and world of ours.
There are many more good birthdays and
places to come and to look forward to!
