RELAXING ON GREEN
ISLAND 1943 -
Green Island is a small (15 hectare/37 acres) island 27 km (45
minutes) by a fast boat from Cairns, its beaches recognized as
amongst the best in Far North Queensland
and (now) a premier world heritage site. It is noted for its
rainforest cover, its pure coral sands, and its excellent
snorkeling over the outlying reefs. In short, it was everything
good that you could imagine of a tropical island, though without
the hula girls. Unfortunately, the tropical areas with which the
503d was to become accustomed would share little of the charms of
Green Island. |
