The author reflects on a transformative week spent in Weipa on the Cape York peninsula, where the lack of mobile reception and GPS led to an unexpected adventure. Arriving at night and feeling lost, the author grappled with fear and uncertainty but ultimately embraced the experience of being disconnected. This journey reminded them of a time when they could take risks without constant safety calculations, leading to a profound sense of liberation and the rediscovery of personal growth through serendipitous experiences.
As I lay in bed that night, with a creaky fan moving the soupy air around, I realised how long it had been since I'd felt so free.
I had an accidental adventure, one I hadn't planned on, one I hadn't even understood I needed, which made me remember what it was to be uncontactable.
