LINDEMAN ISLAND.

Tourists Delighted.

Further praise of Lindeman Island was given by tourists who returned from Lindeman Island by the ketch Tonka on Friday evening. Among those who returned were Mrs. F. E. Shortt, Misses A. and K. Sheldon, Edith Webster, and S. Frederiksen, of Brisbane.

“It is one of the most glorious of places,” said Miss A. Sheldon. Miss Sheldon, who has been to Cairns previously, and also has travelled Europe, said she did not believe Lindeman could be surpassed for scenery. “We do not say it is better than on the other side,” she observed, “but it is quite equal in its own way.”

“Absolutely everything possible has been done to give us a good time. We have seen eveything there is to be seen,” chimed in the rest of the party – “all except a dugong! As for Lindeman, we like everything connected with it.
