Percy Isles are part of the Northumberland Islands which are located south-east of Mackay, off the Queensland Coast of Australia. They can only be reached by private boat (no ferries). The island has abundant maritime history and a long tradition of welcoming cruisers. Cruisers are welcome ashore and there is a fabulous place for all to gather, chat, share sundowners or a BBQ with fellow travellers. The large A-frame structure on the beach has a few basic facilities including chairs and tables. There is lighting powered by solar panels and an information area were you can purchase the local produce. Nearby there is a BBQ, fire pit, shower and toilet.
How do you see beautiful Penang on a tight budget? You see and do all the free things. You eat at the markets, and you jump on the free bus. Getting a good look at Penang – on the cheap – is simple because most of Penang’s temptations are free! Yes free! For instance, the street art, a major drawcard for Georgetown, is free. The stunning national park and turtle sanctuary, is free. Furthermore, those that are not free are cheap. The food in Penang, also a leading attraction, doesn’t have to be expensive. In fact, it is the hawker food which attracts all the foodies that flock to Penang to taste her delights!
