Queensland Scouts Journey to the 1934 Jamboree at Frankston
The Cairns and Queensland contingents recount a prolonged rail and tram trek from Townsville to Melbourne then Frankston, facing delays and crowded cars, culminating in arrival at the Jamboree camp. Despite hardships and limited leave for some Rover Scouts, the party upheld Cairns Scouting prestige and shared experiences with other groups during the 2400 to 2800 mile journey.
