Into Cairns recently sailed the planet's largest privately owned residential yacht, The World, strictly for the filthy rich , on a two month circumnavigation of Australia, which started in Hong Kong , photographed by one of our wage slave local correspondents on an early morning jog.
While thousands of people were quarantined on the cruise ship Diamond Princess off Yokohama at the time , keen to come ashore in a fit state , some passengers on The World reside permanently in great luxury, it having a maximum capacity of only 150-200 passengers. No sweaty backpackers, hoi-polloi allowed aboard-you need many millions before you can apply to buy space and then you are closely vetted .
Our Shipping Reporter, with a vast knowledge of wayside inns and waterfront grog shops , pointed out the Hemingway's Brewery sign in the photo is the name of a drinking and eating establishment with a 19metre long bar and 50 taps in the heritage listed Cairns cruise liner terminal.
