Edmonton a suburb of Cairns just ten kilometers to its south in Tropical
North Queensland, Australia. This area has been made famous by the Great Barrier
Reef and the Rainforests of the Wet Tropics.
The Great Barrier Reef extends over 1,500 kilometers, and are home to
the greatest variety of flora and fauna species found in any one location in the
world. The scope of thi magnificent reef encompassies 22,000
individual reefs and an area of 348,000 square kilometres. The Great Barrier
Reef, now a national marine park, provides superb recreational activities such
as snorkelling, diving, swimming, semi-submersibles, coral viewing and fishing.
The Rainforests of the Wet Tropics, with its bounty of flora and fauna, were
placed on the World Heritage List in 1988 and cover an area of nearly 900,000
hectares of rainforest and tropical vegetation. Primitive plants have remained
undisturbed here, from time immemorial, and rare, even previously unidentified
species of birds, insects and mammals have emerged to delight biologists and
nature lovers.
Tourism is a way of life in the area with the warm tropical climate

offer a great variety of foods with the areas superb seafoods and tropical
fruits on the menu. Needless to say the locals are friendly and most appreciate

Our District this Lionistic year (2003/2004) has as its District Governor Ms. Beryl Ahern. Her slogan is ?Fun and Service go hand in hand? - the intention being to encourage Lions to go back to having some fun whilst working for their community. A visit will bring you up to date on all our activities and plans/projects for the future.
IN APPRECIATION
As an extension to the
Turkish Lions' contribution, the Brisbane Ekibin Lions Club of MD 201 Q1
(Australia) offer assistance to Lions Clubs who want to take advantage of the
Turkish Lions offer, but are not familiar with web publishing. They've already
set up many sites for Lions Clubs world-wide, using Lionwap.
If your club wants to be on the internet, and would like some help, leave a
message in the Ekibin Guest Book by clicking on the image above. This is a FREE
SERVICE, so you don't spend a cent for their work. As Lionwap is also FREE, this
means you get a web site that you NEVER have to pay for. - Is that a deal or
what?
All your Club has to do it have some-one update and maintain your page, which
needs not take more than a few minutes each month. The Ekibin Lions will even
give you some tips on that!
