Douglas Shire Historical Society

The historians at the Douglas Society are back up and running with their first project for the new year being the scheduled annual maintenance on their museum at Port Douglas which has been closed for the whole month of February while the work was carried out.  The museum will be reopened to the public on the first Sunday of March.  Also at the beginning of March will be their next meeting to be held at the Mossman Community Centre with Ruth and Paul Grischy as guest speakers.  They will be remembering the life of long-time Port Douglas resident Mrs Jean Allen, who passed away recently at the ripe old age of 98 years.
