Our last boat, Cavalier 32 Yacht "Conquero" (built 1981). We sailed around Moreton Bay and joined the RQYS (Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron) cruising group, mooring in the sheltered anchorages. Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Sold in 2001, last seen in Bateman's Bay, NSW. The Cavalier 32, affectionately known as the “Cav32″, is perhaps the best production cruiser to be produced in New Zealand, and certainly one of the most successful. Right from the get go, when Sea Spray magazine in July 1971 took the first production boat for a sail they were impressed by both the spacious interior, berthing up to eight, and its on-the-water performance; noting it was fast, responsive, incredibly close-winded and with good acceleration. The boat went on to compete very successfully as an ocean racer with a half ton rating, eventually finding its place among the cruising community as a comfortable and reliable blue water vessel. Many have cruised the South Pacific extensively, while others have circumnavigated. History Designed by Bob Salthouse in 1969, the prototype Cavalier 32 made its debut at the 1970 Auckland Boat Show. The concept was for a hull with high racing potential; a boat that would be satisfying to race inshore as well as offshore, yet have family-size cruising accommodation. It immediately proved popular with 14 boats sold by the time the first boat was launched in Jul 1971. bluewaterboats.org/cavalier-32/

Established in 1986 The Kookaburra River Queen Paddlewheelers are true icons of the Brisbane River, based on the Mississipi, and Murray River Paddlewheelers and celebrate Brisbane's greatest asset - our river. The vessels were aptly named because the Kookaburra is a native Australian bird that is never seen to drink water - a prophecy that all boat owners would hope to emulate! Confident that Brisbane was ready for "something nostalgic, old-fashioned and different" the Kookaburra River Queens were born. Millkraft Thompson Boatyards built Kookaburra River Queen I. She was the first wooden paddlewheeler built in Australia in the last century. Launched in 1986 and 1988 respectively, the Queens were crafted mainly from Queensland timbers, the 100 foot keels from ironbark, the sheathed hulls planked with oregon and spotted gum and the decks made from white beech. After playing a major role in the popular World Expo 88, the vessels have become a part of Brisbane's riverscape for over 20 years. www.kookaburrariverqueens.com Alphabet Site K

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” ― Mark Twain: The Innocents Abroad/Roughing It Written in 1869, it was the best-selling of Twain's works during his lifetime, as well as being one of the best-selling travel books of all time - Wikipedia. En route to the Whitsundays, flying from Brisbane to Hamilton Island, July 2014.

Queensland's first Government House is located at Gardens Point in the grounds of the Queensland University of Technology at the end of George Street in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The building's construction was the first important architectural work undertaken by the newly formed Government of Queensland. The government residential building was constructed to accommodate the first Governor of Queensland, Sir George Bowen, and his family. The two-storey building was designed by colonial architect Charles Tiffin in the Classical revival style in 1860. The first stage of the building was completed in March 1862 by builder Joshua Jeays. The building is built from locally-sourced materials, predominantly sandstone, porphyry, red cedar, hoop pine and cast iron. Archive Airings AA45 Underneath the Arches
