“In 1886, all 39 fishermen in Cairns were Chinese. In 1910, they owned 11 of the 15 fish traps and 54 of the 69 fishing boats in the region… Locally made junks carried goods all around Trinity Bay and along the lower reaches of the local rivers. They were made by professional (Chinese) boat builders from Cedar logs felled in the rainforest. Surviving photos of the junks on Trinity Bay indicate what an exotic and totally unexpected view it was for visitors arriving from the south.” – ‘Looking from the North’ by Henry Reynolds.
