Thanks for your video. I’m flying up to Thursday Island (well horn) on the 22nd (8 days away) and your video was by far the best I’ve seen. Short and concise. I have a couple of thursday island questions for you that hopefully if you see this you take a moment to answer. I’m a first time visitor but plan to spend a week or so there. I know a few helicopter pilots on Horn but they don’t seem to know much about Thursday (to my amazement). First question, I’ve heard that somewhere around there is a cafe that sells crayfish/lobster pies, but i’m not sure if they still do, or where it is. Question 2, is there somewhere to buy seafood from around there (particularly fresh lobster). Question 3 I’m considering a day trip to Kazu Pearls on Friday Island but can’t find opening days or hours on the internet. Any idea?. Question 4 is a weekly farmers market or other local market? (And if so what days and where). I’ve taken note of the places mentioned in your video to checkout. Again, thanks for the video.
Thanks for the feedback. I think Kazu closes over Xmas but you can ring him on Friday Island 07 40691268. The chopper pilots are mostly based on Horn Island and apart from the medivac crews they don’t pop over to TI (Thursday Island) very often. You can get lobster tails at the local butcher next to Mitre 10 and full lobsters at a little shop down near the old Rebel jetty. Best to ask the crew of the Rebel ferry about lobsters and they will steer you in the right direction. They’ll also tell you where you can get those pies. Enjoy your visit to TI.
Cool name
