This is a great opportunity to foster the fellowship of our great organisation, but importantly as well, to acknowledge and thank Commissioner Hyde for his Patronage during his term as the CEO of SAPOL.

Social Weekend – Mission Beach – May 2012

FNQ_Sec — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 23:47:22 +0000

Weekend 11,12,13 May

Taking advantage of our large region, the FNQ branch is on the move. We’re planning a weekend trip to the beautiful Mission Beach. The intention is to provide an opportunity for members living and working in the southern parts of the region to meet the committee and all have a good weekend by the beach with the restaurants and sights that area has to offer. Whether you can come for all or part of this weekend, it promises to be a great time.

Plans are still underway looking at accommodation options and more information will follow, but at this stage, please note in your diary or contact your roster officer for this event.

FNQ Branch – Chairperson’s message

FNQ_Sec — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 23:37:16 +0000

Welcome to all readers of the IPA website and particularly to the readers of the Far North Queensland branch site.

Life in the far north is unique with its diversity of environment from the Great Barrier Reef to World Heritage listed rainforests and rugged outback terrain. The local members of the IPA live and work within this environment and are proud to showcase the attractions to IPA visitors. The combined local knowledge can provide advice to visitors for the ideal travel plans.

Some of the other activities we have been able to help visiting members with are dive and snorkling trips to the Great Barrier Reef, and even flights over some of the most spectacular ocean in the world. The rainforests can be accessed by vehicle to places such as the Daintree National Park, Cape Tribulation or Mossman Gorge, while the Kuranda Scenic Rail and Skyrail offer visitors their unique access to the wet tropics above Cairns.

Above Cairns is the Atherton Tablelands, a region providing the farming base for our range of tropical foods, including dairy, coffee, mangoes, avocadoes, pineapples, bananas and the list goes on. From here, travellers can hand feed the rock wallabies of Granite Gorge or explore further into the outback (with a properly equipped 4WD of course).

We welcome inquiries from IPA visitors and look forward to sharing our place with you.

Adrian Gover

Chairperson

IPA Far North Queensland.
