Publishers Description: This is the 5th edition of a book known as the Bible by those who go out on the water in the Whitsundays. It provides exhaustive, reliable detail about every nook and cranny of the many splendid anchorages in Australias finest cruising grounds. But it is more than just a cruising guide. 100 Magic Miles covers the whole Whitsunday area, a particularly beautiful part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, located in the Queensland tropics between latitude 20 degrees and 21 degrees south. The Cumberland Islands (today more often referred to as the Whitsundays) have held a strong attraction for seafarers since James Cook charted them in 1770, although the islands were discovered long before then by Aboriginal people - in fact, before they were islands. 100 Magic Miles is written in an informal, informative style and makes entertaining reading when not being consulted as a working reference. It provides a general introduction to the Great Barrier Reef and its fascinating marine life, and it includes everything one needs to know to get the most out of a holiday in the Whitsundays.
