PASSAGE

A certain hare, who was very proud of his speed as a runner, once laughed at a tortoise that crept slowly on the ground. “You slow, old creature.” He cried, “Can’t you go any faster than that”? “I may be slow” said the tortoise, “but I could beat you in a race”. They deiced to run for half a mile. Off went the hare in quick leaps and bounds while the tortoise plodded along, never stopping, never looking back. Soon the swift hare outran the tortoise to such a length that he made a jest of the matter. “Ha, ha,” laughed the hare, as he stepped halfway to look back at the slow tortoise. Then the hare thought, “there is no need for me to run so fast. I will lie down and rest.” So the hare lay down under a tree and soon fell fast asleep. He did not hear the little feet of the tortoise come creep-creep-creeping up the place where he lay. And right past the sleeping hare went the tortoise, slowly and steadily, never once looking behind him. Presently, the hare awoke and started racing towards the winning post like a streak of lightning. “Here I am,” cried a little voice from the end of the wood, ‘I’m at the winning – post and have been sitting here waiting for you for some time.” The hare was ashamed of himself; for had be not been beaten by the tortoise at whose slow pace he had laughed?

PASSAGE

Lizard island is only 30 KM off the far north Queensland coast and 250 KM north of Cairns, the most northerly city in Northeastern Australia. The 1,012 hectare island is spectacularly rugged with vegetation ranging from grassland to rainforest and encompassing pandanus swamp, eucalypt woodland and mangroves. The most recent discoverers of this island were Sir Sydney Williams and another north Queensland businessman., Mr. John Wilson, now a Brisbane share broker. For several years from 1968, they camped on Lizard island for annual fishing holidays and in 1974 after obtaining it Queensland Government lease with other businessmen, built four cabins for guests. In the next step of development in 1978, they raised the number of bungalows to eight, then to fifteen in 1982 and in 1984 ultimately the complex was bought by the Queens land State Government Insurance Office.

The island is consistently visited by those who seem to be quite careful about their health. Each has all the facilities expected in such an elegant resort including well – stocked mini bar. It is because of this that Australian Prime Ministers for the decade or so have taken heed, as they constantly retreat to this island to rest, relax and lick the wounds of office. Since this island attracts people from all over the world, most of the time it remains packed. One of the island resort’s founders, Queensland aviation pioneer, Sir Sydney Williams, affirms that a sturdy Arab Sheikh once cam ashore from a chartered luxury yacht and tried to book a suite for the night. When told the place was full he hastily produced a cheque book and offered to buy it.
