Going Troppo
by David Haynes and Sue Mulvany

Sailing the warm blue tropical waters of the north-east coast of Queensland is one of the treasured experiences of the cruising sailor, and Going Troppo is the perfect companion for this stunning stretch of the Great Barrier Reef inner route. It provides detailed information on anchorages for all the must visit cruising locations between Bowen and Lizard Island, with 77 carefully prepared sketch maps and 37 recent aerial photographs presented on a region by region basis. Also included are descriptions of local history, plants, and wildlife, as well as detailed weather information, tips for cruising safety, and photographs.
Set in the context of the very earliest settlement of Australia, through to more recent history of the charting and sailing of the inner route of the Great Barrier Reef, readers follow in the wake of Australia’s early maritime explorers through the thoughts and observations recorded in their journals.
Going Troppo is a well illustrated and comprehensive reference that will assist with trip planning for coastal seafarers of all descriptions and then bring back memories long after the cruise is over.
