"Travelling abroad for a holiday can be almost as annoying as shopping for shoes with the missus, and that’s very annoying indeed. In fact, holidays in far flung destinations are one of my least favourite things to do. Long waits in boring airports, long flights without leg room, jet lag, dodgy people with bad accents just itching to rip you off.

Yes, it’s much better to live in the paradise of the Tropical North where a holiday is just a short drive or walk away. Sitting and talking with friends over a few cold beers for hours on the Esplanade is a holiday. Walking along Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas is a holiday. Sipping Australia’s best coffee on the Tableland is a holiday. Trips to Hinchinbrook Island or the reef or Cape Tribulation are all holidays, particularly because those spots don't have shops. That’s why I love it here in Tropical North Queensland".
