Beautiful Cardwell, North Queensland , not only has magnificent views , it even has an op shop from which, just before it was due to close for the day, was discovered and bought a magnificently illustrated book , Secrets of the Island An Oral History of Tasmanian Surfing , by Emily Davey,Tassurf Publishing, printed in China by Everbest . Homemade vanilla slices sold by a bespoke bakery are also tasty. Then there is the art gallery with a wide range of locally produced items , including paintings of Curlews . In English, German and Chinese , there is a warning sign about crocs on the beachfront .
