Sir Isaac Isaacs

On this day in 1885 Isaac Isaacs was born. He was to become Australia's first Australian-born Governor General. We have listed him in our 200 Significant Australians. Read more at The White Hat Guide to Sir Isaac Isaacs.

On this day in 1835 John Batman conducted a treaty with local Aborigines regarding the annual lease of land in the region now known as Victoria.

On this day in 1942 a large allied force landed on the beaches of France in what is now known as D-Day.

This day is also Swedish National Day recognising both the day in 1523 when when King Gustavus I came to the throne as well as the day in 1809 when the Swedish Constitution was adopted in 1809. It is a public holiday in Sweden.

Free Guided Walk In the Botanic Gardens

Volunteers from Friends of the Botanic Gardens Cairns conduct free guided walks, Monday to Friday, most weeks of the year. These walks commence at 10am from Friends’ House, near the Gardens Café, and are designed to meet the needs of casual visitors to the Gardens.

The walks last for about 60 to 90 minutes and showcase a number of different areas of the Gardens including the Conservatory, the Aboriginal Plant Use section and any plants that are putting on a particularly good display at the time. Details at Friends of the Botanic Gardens

Rusty's Market

A bustling produce market that also offers a variety clothing, jewellery and bric-a-brac. Anyone inteersted in tropical fruits and vegetables is likely to be delighted with this market and White Hat particularly suggests you search out the PNG stalls and talk to the stallholders about how they use the food they have on offer.
