Back in 1997, we travelled to the Cairns area and stayed at the Rainforest Resort Apartments in the Atherton Tableland.

We chose them because I had noticed their website. It was largely aimed at the international market, especially for birders, but not exclusively so. Looking at their website, the potential for tourism in the Illawarra was obvious. So a list of links was compiled but undoubtedly now needs a big review and update. That will happen in time.
