On The Barrier Reef

One of the prettiest towns on Australia’s east coast is the northern Queensland town of Caims, which in earlier years was on Islands-bound shipping runs to Thursday Island and Port

Today Cairns has fewer Islands connections (although it boasts a big Burns Philp motel). But, it’s the northern centre for huge travel and tourism activities around Queens land’s Barrier Reef.

Cairns has much to offer for holidaymakers, with many islands, bays, drives and beautiful beaches to the near north and for those who haven’t made Caims, or are think ing of a stop there, What To See Round Cairns, is an ideal guidebook.

The 120-page booklet is jammed with facts, figures, maps, drawings and pictures of Cairns and at 52.50 it’s keenly priced.

It isn’t hard to see the booklet becoming a must with several others

which have come out.
