THIS is the tip of Cape York Peninsula, most northerly part of Australia. It points straight at the heart of the Western Pacific, where events of the next few months may make world history. The curious corruga tions on the left are sand ridges and although under 3 ft. of water, are seen clearly from the air. An unattended lighthouse on one of the islets is lit automatically by the fading of day light, and automatically extinguished at dawn.
