Legend of Captain Billy The name 'Captain Billy' is well known mainly due to Captain Billy Landing in Cape York, which is a picturesque place to visit on your Cape York journey.
Captain Billy Landing is 27 km's from the main road along a reasonably good track that meanders towards the coast. The coast offers a back-drop of white sand and bushland, making it an attractive place to visit. A walk along the white sands of Captain Billy Landing, or a chance to try your hand at fishing, is a 'must do' on any Cape York tour. Further information regarding our tours can be found in the F.A.Q page within this Website. |

Captain Billy Landing was named by Robert Logan Jack in March 1880 when Jack and his group were led there by a local Aboriginal calling himself 'Captain Billy'. Mr Jack was later attacked by a group of Aborigines lead by 'Captain Billy', just north of Camisade Creek. The mouth of the creek, named by Mr Jack, became the 'Port' for Heathlands Station.
