Cape York Trip – Post 19 – Mutee

Mutee Headland

 

 

Sunset over the Mutee Headland.

Radar Tower

 

Mutee was the sight of one of a number of radar installations on Cape York during world war two. According to the plaque here, this is the last one that is still standing, While the whole area is covered by 6ft high grass I couldn't see any evidence of the support buildings.

 

 

 

 

 

Mutee

 

 

The decaying posts in this sunset photo are what is left of the jetty used during the war. I imagine to supply the radar installation. Apparently it was an important port for the whole area as well.

 

 

 

 

Mutee soft plastic

 

 

While not huge, still fun. The soft plastic is a bit worse for wear but still did the job.

 

 

 

Mutee - sunrise

 

 

Sunrise at Mutee beach. It may not be as spectacular as the sunset but I didn't have to get up at an unreasonable hour, the temperature would have been about 24 degrees - certainly didn't need a coat. You have to love winter on the Cape 🙂
