| A Guide to Cruising Northern Australia:
Cairns to Carnarvon
by Leslie P. Richards
When Les Richards was finally forced to stop being a truckie because of a bad back, he built a cruising yacht and spent many years sailing the northern coastline of Australia. What he learned has been put into this complete sailing guide. Typical anchorage discussions contain heaps of useful information including relevant charts and tide tables, navigation lights, beacons or leads, depths, dangers, routes of access, identifiable features and landmarks, anchor "holding" and "comfort" factors (e.g. swell, tide race, weather etc) plus details of local facilities if any are available. Rescue groups are identified with details on how to contact them, as well as information on emergency medical facilities such as the Royal Flying Doctor Service and medical clinics.
