THURSDAY ISLAND :: QUEENSLAND :: AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN For the Kuarareg people, Thursday Island was considered a "men's business" place.

When I go there I plan to meet people, go to watch a football game... or go to church!

I will eat turtle and dugong!

In fact, the dugong is a symbol of spirituality in the Straits. There is a waterfall called Rabau Nguki or "Dugong Story".


Drink green ant tea!

Croc Festival... see dancers from PNG!

John Street... one of the main streets.

Pearling luggers were once active in the Straits.

In 2014, the Internet was in a poor shape here!
