Family matters in Port

l PORT DOUGLAS

VISITOR numbers in the Douglas Shire have continued to be steady in recent weeks and in fact Port Douglas, over the last few days, seems to have been extremely busy, even mid-week, with restaurants and bars full up on some occasions. Overseas guests have been enjoying this idyllic part of the world again, notably from different parts of Europe.

One such example was Arlene who was visiting from Holland with her husband Eric.

Arlene, who is originally from Scotland, had a number of reasons to be in Port Douglas. Not only did she catch up with family, who already live here, but she also met mum Ellen, who had travelled from Scotland. Just to add to the celebrations, Arlene was also in town to celebrate her 60th birthday.

From my observations, all concerned had a fabulous time.
