Jamie Vogler’s Coast to Carpentaria Charity Challenge has been met and the Perth-based influencer is now headed home. But not before planting the seed of a Cape return.

“FNQ you were unreal – westbound now… Time for a Perth summer,” he posted on Facebook.

The adventure enthusiast and digital creator set out on his 24-day adventure from Townsville to Normanton on 9 November to raise awareness and funds for the Cowboys Community Foundation.

And he said the more than 2000 km voyage on his custom-built seven-metre vessel had been a blast.

“What a trip! The people we met… The places we saw… It was everything we thought it would be but better,” he posted.

“North QLD is an amazing place and this trip has been an absolute privilege…. Raising money for the @nqcowboysfoundation and most importantly the people of North Queensland!”

He also provided more than a hint about a new adventure to the Cape in 2026.

“I can’t wait for next year when we do something with this community again!”

This year’s route included Cooktown, Cape Melville, Lockhart River, Captain Billy Landing, Bamaga, Mapoon, Weipa, Aurukun, Pormpuraaw, Karumba before finishing in Normanton.
