North Queensland: Cairns, Port Douglas, Cooktown, Atherton Tablelands - July 1999

A report of our trip by car from Airlie Beach through a small portion of North Queensland, visiting Cairns, Port Douglas, Mossman and Cooktown, returning through Mareeba and the Atherton Tablelands. Includes some photos. A beautiful part of the country!

Other people's travels in Australia

Denis Heirendt hdenis@hdenis.com from Luxembourg has several pages of travel pictures, links and stuff as this address: http://www.hdenis.com/

Look for the links to Australia. His photos are great, and we enjoyed his commentary as well.

Denis says his photos "were taken with either Canon A1 or the last ones with Canon Eos 50E using Fuji Sensia 100 ASA slide film [and] scanned using a HP Photo Smart scanner. That's perhaps the reason they are in much better quality than using an ordinary scanner."

Australian National Maritime Museum

The National Maritime Museum is located at Darling Harbour, Sydney. This site will give you a good idea of what's at the museum, so you'll know if you want to add it to your itinerary when you're in Sydney. (You should! Along with the Aquarium, the Taronga Zoo, and other sights.)

(Don't be put off by the dark, hard to read first page -- the rest of the site is informative and easier to view.)
