⛽COEN DIESEL! ⛽

Fuel up in Coen before you hit the road… because right now we’ve got diesel at $2.55 per litre and plenty of stock available at this price — no need to panic, just roll in and fill up!🚗

Yep — you read that right.
Meanwhile in Weipa and Cairns… people are out there paying $3.19+ per litre 😳💸

So if you’re travelling through (or lucky enough to be local), now’s the time to fill up and save your dollars for something better… like pies and coffee 😉

The biggest black marlin

Words by Hinako Kamezawa, Japanese student

In 1966, Captain George Bransford made Cairns a place of world game fishing. He heard the tales of local fisherman of the existence of fish that broke wire line and he wanted to fish these big ones. He settled in Cairns and continued to fishing. In 1963, he built a boat and lost many fish in his attempt to catch the “big one”. His dream finally came true in 1966. On September 25th, George and Richard Obach caught the black marlin weighing 453.6kg. It was new world record and Cairns attracted attention! In the Cairns Museum, you can see the fishing rod and this picture. You can see more dynamic black marlin than this small photo!

｢最大の黒カジキ｣
1966年、ジョージ・ブランズフォード氏が、ケアンズを世界的なゲームフィッシングの地へと押し上げました。彼は地元の漁師からワイヤーラインを壊した大きな魚の話を聞き、そのような大魚を釣りたいと思うようになりました。彼はケアンズに引越し、釣りを続けました。1963年にシーベイビーという漁船を造船し、何匹もの魚を逃してきましたが、1966年、遂に彼の夢は叶います。9月25日、ジョージとリチャード・オバックは453. 6kgの黒カジキを釣り上げました。それは世界記録であり、ケアンズは一躍注目されました！ケアンズ博物館では、その時の釣竿とこの写真を見ることができます。大きな魚を釣った時の驚きに思いをはせてみましょう！小さい写真ではないので、よりダイナミックな黒カジキが見られますよ！
