Police from the remote Cape York town of Bamaga have helped a disabled child tick standing on mainland Australia's northernmost point, off his bucket list.

Sidney Cook, nine, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was just three months old and spends much of his time confined to a wheelchair.

While planning a trip to Cape York, he and his family wanted to visit the iconic tip of Cape York sign at the northernmost point of the Australian continent.

With neither of his parents able to carry him over the rocky terrain leading to the sign, Sidney's family put out a call for help on social media.

Acting Senior Constable Talina O'Brien from Bamaga police station was quick to respond.

"I knew once I got the word around the station and into the community that we'd get an overwhelming response," she said.

"We had guys come in on their days off wanting to be a part of it.

"We had a local gentleman construct a perfect little lift-chair for Sidney so he was set up nice and comfortably and we could carry him down to the sign."

Narelle Cook, Sidney's mother, said she was overwhelmed at the lengths police went to.

"We didn't know what to expect," she said.

"To turn up on the day and have the entire team from the Bamaga police station there, with a specially made chair for Sidney, left us lost for words," she said.

"I don't think we will ever be able to thank them enough for everything they have done."
