Christmas on the Briny.
THE INNOCENTS ABROAD.
. . OR . .
A Holiday Trip to the Abrolhos Islands.
Constantine and Gardner, Printers.
PUBLISHER'S NOTE.
The editor of the "Geraldton Guardian" has to acknowledge with thanks the author's courtesy in supplying him with the following interesting account of a trip to the Abrolhos Islands for publication in that paper. It has been suggested that their re-publication in booklet form might do much to advertise these islands as a holiday resort, and Mr. Christie courteously gave his permission, hence this unpretentious booklet.
THE INNOCENTS ABROAD.
CHRISTMAS ON THE BRINY.
"What shall we do with ourselves during the holidays?" was a question put by one to another amongst a dozen or so of the new and old residents of Geraldton a few weeks ago.
"What about the Abrolhos?" someone suggested. The idea caught on, and Mr. George Baston volunteered the use of has fishing boat the "While-away" to take a party of us for a cruise round the islands. The offer was accepted. The provisioning arrangements were left in the hands of Mr. Baston.
We were all to be aboard by midnight on Thursday, 24th December, but an hour before that time most of the party had staggered down singly or in groups of two or three to the Esplanade jetty, where the "While-away" was moored. Some were accompanied by friends to see the party safely off.
