The mining town of Weipa, the "Oasis in the wilderness" is known as the Barramundi capital of Queensland. This small but vibrant town, situated on the west-coast of the Cape, some 160kms from the tip and only one and a half hour’s flight from Cairns, offers all the conveniences of modern living and is considered the jump off point to explore the remote wilderness of the western Cape York.
Fishing enthusiasts flock to Weipa because of its terrific coastal location and abundant marine life.
