He was after business and started to tell me everything I wanted to know. He got out his chart of all the Islands around Townsville and explained them all to me. I asked about Dunk Island and he recommended Orpheus Island in the Palm Group. He told me I could camp there for nothing with plenty of oysters and fish for the taking.

Only three taxis there! I was determined to get one with my heavy luggage, so as soon as the plank was down I sent the wife off to get one. It cost me 10/- for that ride, only one mile! We had time to have a cup of tea before we left for Ingham, where we got into another taxi and told him where we wanted to go and left him to find the route. He took us to the town and got on the Phone to Halifax and told us he would take us there. |

The wife and I roamed a good bit of the Island, which is 9 miles long and about half a mile wide. It has plenty of beaches, but very hard going to get to them as the speargrass is about 4 ft. high with boulders on top of the ground which you can't see through the grass. The only way to walk there in comfort is in a pair of shoes only. Clothes get full of grass-seed and it sticks into you until you take your clothes off. | The wife and I roamed a good bit of the Island, which is 9 miles long and about half a mile wide.
