Peter thought it right and proper to raise up some old pictures into the public arena, pictures gathered and supplied by the Cairns Post during its 120 year anniversary celebration (the longest continual business in Cairns), back in 2002, depicting North Queensland life, roughly one hundred years earlier in the Cairns and surrounding areas. Captions under the pictures are provided.
