Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery View to the Torres Strait Islands Thursday Island lies just 30km off Cape York Peninsula, Far North Queensland, in the heart of Torres Strait and is easily accessible by Ferry from Seisa. During the pearling heyday, many young men from Wakayama Prefecture in Japan, came to Thursday Island to make their fortunes diving for pearls.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Shimmering Palms Portland Roads, Cape York Peninsula, Far North Queensland, Australia. Portland Roads has a monument to explorer Edmund Kennedy, whose ill-fated expedition to the Cape ended with all members speared to death except for Aborigine guide Jacky-Jacky who managed to reach Somerset. The abandoned remnants of a military harbour used by US forces in WWII can still be seen here. / During World War II and the area became a staging post for at least 50,000 American and Australian troops. In 1942, a large airbase was constructed as a launching pad for American aerial bombing raids in the Pacific and the road from the Lockhart River airstrip to Portland Roads jetty (now removed) was sealed. / When the American 90th Bomb Group, known as the “Jolly Rogers”, arrived at Iron Range, they found two airstrips, named Claudie and Gordon, unfinished and unsealed. They described it as the worst airfield they were ever posted at during the war. / American Coast Artillery Regiments were deployed around the airstrips. W. Rollins, of the 197th Coast Artillery (AA) Regiment, described the conditions in his diary. “The strips were a disaster – Muddy and flooded most of the time. I witnessed planes land without landing gear down, motors that didn’t run, sometimes in a foot of water.” / They manned anti-aircraft gun positions in the area until mid-1943. “Japanese planes had been sighted near the jetty but never an air raid. We experience at least two alerts every day – it seems the Japanese keep watch over this area.” W. Rollins. / Difficult conditions were made worse during the monsoonal rains and possibly contributed to some of the several military aircraft crashes in the area. One of the worst disasters took place on 16 November 1942, when B-24 Liberators of the 90th Bomb Group took off on their first bombing raid of Rabaul. Dust blown up during take-off obscured the dim airfield lights, causing the eleventh aircraft in line to veer off the runway and crash into three stationary aircraft killing 11 men. / Today, small patches of bitumen and remains of old bridges, bunkers, gun emplacements, defensive pits, machinery parts, concrete footings and fuel drum dumps can still be seen in the area, slowly being obscured by rainforest. A memorial has been erected at the Iron Range Airport in recognition of the lives lost during the war. 100% of proceeds received from Redbubble in respect to sales of “Shimmering Palms” will be donated to “thegreataustraliancancerbushwalk” for the Cancer Council.
