Santa Goes By Ship
Although Christmas is nine days away, Santa Claus already has called on 15 children in lonely parts of Queensland – by ship.
The youngsters live with their parents on nine lighthouses between Cape Moreton and Dent Island, off Prosperpine.
The Navigation and Lighthouses Department steamer, Cape Leeuwin, has just completed a visit to each of the lonely outposts delivering Christmas fare such as plum pudding, nuts, ginger and other delicacies, and toys for the children.
The vessel is due in Brisbane this afternoon.
