Multiple names report travel by the Kuranda railway to the south and other trips to Port Douglas Townsville and Innisfail. Local figures include dentists and opticians visiting towns, with social events such as a Port Douglas birthday party for a three year old. The note also mentions mail orders by W Green Limited and a former cane-grower Mr Low departing for the south.
