Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville and, to a lesser extent, Cairns all have a charming late-nineteenth century elegance about them. Tropical parks and gardens, lazy green-brown tropical rivers, handsome Classical Revival buildings with solid Doric and Corinthian columns, wide streets, the sight of palm and fig trees, the heady scent of bougainvillea and jasmin - these are the memories which filter to the surface when one looks back. Of course each city has its own idiosyncracies.

Cairns (including Fitzroy Island, Green Island, Redlynch, Smithfield and Yorkeys Knob) The major centre in North Queensland and an ideal starting point for travellers wanting to explore both the tropical rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. If there is a city which sums up the aspirations of North Queensland it has got to be Cairns. North Queenslanders may well believe that they live in a tropical paradise with palm-fringed beaches, balmy days, easy living, spectacular rainforests, exotic fauna and flora and dramatic waterfalls, but they also want the riches that a modern society can provide.

Guildford Now a suburb of Perth, it was once the favoured site for the first Swan River settlement. Guildford is now a suburb of Perth located on the Great Eastern Highway 14 km from the city centre. Given that it is now part of Greater Perth it is hard to imagine that its origins lie in Captain Stirling's determination to establish three settlements in the Swan River area - a port at Fremantle, an administrative centre at Perth, and a rural centre at Guildford. Thus the market town and inland port of Guildford is as old as Perth and Fremantle. There is even some evidence to support the idea that Guildford would have been Stirling's first choice for a settlement and certainly, when the Government established the first schools in the area in 1834 they appointed three teachers - one for Fremantle, one for Guildford and one for Perth. - ...

Windsor Major centre on the Hawkesbury River with much historic interest and charm. Governor Lachlan Macquarie was a great builder and dreamer.

There is a current school of thought which claims that what modern development has done to Windsor is disgraceful. Certainly the modern bridge, the wide road which mixes historic houses with service stations, the modern malls and the refusal to keep this old town in some kind of pristine condition is shameful.
