Description

The amazing true story of how a remote seafront five-star fishing lodge in Far North Queensland, Australia, was financed by the proceeds of organised crime on a grand scale. The activities were brought to the public’s attention through several Royal Commissions, and the Federated Painters and Dockers Union were labelled a criminal organisation masquerading as a Trade Union. The resort became known in the Australian Press as “The Painters and Dockers Holiday Lodge.” The story involves many interactions with locals on Cape York Peninsula, mishaps on the Coral Sea, and constant police raids. The story then moves on to the Papua New Guinea islands, where the author takes over another resort and establishes a scuba diving destination.

This unique guide recommends more than 80 traditional hunting and fishing lodges in backwoods Maine that offer vacation packages for curious travelers as well as sportsmen in search of an unusual getaway. Part of a 50-year tradition, Maine sporting camps are typically centered around a central dining lodge serving home-cooked meals, with individual rental cabins set along a lakeshore. Many camps have been run by the same family for generations, and loyal guests return year after year. Some camps are easily accessible and offer a full range of outdoor activities for families; others are deep in the woods and ideal for a fishing or hunting retreat.

Activities available at Maine sporting camps include fishing, hunting, boating, hiking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, birding, and moose-watching. Hearty home-cooked meals and cozy cabins make hanging around camp just as appealing as exploring the wilds.
