Island is the administrative centre for the Torres Strait islands
which have been part of Queensland since 1872. "T.I." as
it's usually known, is the most popular of the Torres Strait Islands.
It's only just over three square km in area and 39km off the top
of
Cape York. The strait's population of 25 000 live on more than
20 islands, and is engaged mostly in fishing, prawning and a declining
pearling industry. Thursday Island is now identified as one of the
last great frontiers in Australia, as it holds some great Australian
history. |
