Description
Excerpt from newspaper artice - "Thursday Island", by "CORNELIA":
FAR away from the gaiety of cities, little Thursday Island has a pleasant, cheerful, jolly social life of its own. Remarkable for the large number of children in proportion to its adult population (coloured as well as white) it is quite an ideal place for the little people. Healthy, sport-loving, open-air children throng its streets, and the citizens fully recognise their value to the community.
