Town’s art deco walk
INNISFAIL has started a new tourist attraction – guided art deco walks.
“We’re thrilled to be able to bring Innisfail’s Art Deco history alive for locals and tourists,” said Innisfail District Historical Society president Trish Ernst.
“It’s an added attraction for our town which showcases our distinctive art deco architecture combined with fascinating stories of the town’s past,” she said.
As a former travel consultant, Ms Ernst said she believed the tour was great value at $20 for one-hour tour, which was devised by historical society volunteers Geoff Thomas and Paul Keenan, who conduct the tour.
She said it would run every Thursday at 10am, from May to November, departing from the shire hall in Rankin Street, Innisfail. Special guests for the first tour were Melbourne journalist and travel writer Tim Richards and his author wife, Narrelle Harris.
The art deco guided history walk can be booked and paid for on trybooking.com/CKXOE or through Cassowary Coast Tourism on 4068 7099.
