I've also been to the Isle of Skye off the West coast, but I don't think I went further north than Inverness even though the north of Skye is further north than Inverness (if that makes any sense).

South: Cape Otway, Victoria, Australia

Map in relation to Melbourne (its the southernmost cape on the map):

How comes? You never were in Lappland? It's interesting, but I met many Finns who also never go north. For us more southerners it's something so special and great (we don't have these endless wilderness anymore - and the Sami were the first "tribe" we learned about in kindergarten) but most Finns told me, that it's boring and why they should go to an even more remote area inhabited by some "barbarians"... :lol:
