We are pleased to present this magnificent home situated on Country Women’s Beach on Prince of Wales Island. This two level home offers ocean views over Thursday Island, Wednesday Island and Horn Island to Possession Island. Prince of Wales Island features a 10x10mile reef just 2 minutes off its extensive shoreline, with bountiful fishing, and crabs and crayfish galore! The island has superb camping sites, with fresh waterfalls, crystal clear waterholes, 4 wheeler and hiking trails, and an abundance of natural flora and fauna. While the island offers all of these secluded delights, locals do not go without any facilities or services. In fact, each day, a ferry takes adults and children to nearby Thursday Island (only 10 minutes away) to attend work and school. Thursday Island offers a fully equipped and well staffed hospital (with specialists regularly visiting from Cairns), a medi-vac helicopter, dental and x-ray services and a pharmacy. All of these services are free, because Price of Wales Island is part of the Torres Strait Islands, and all services are free to locals. You’ll never have to pay for a prescription again! Thursday Island also has a supermarket, hardware store, newsagency, post office, library, primary- school, high-school, TAFE and an off-site James Cook University Campus. There are also twice daily air services to Cairns and the island is only 10 minutes to Horn Island. As the island is only 30klms from the tip of Australia and 10 minutes to Friday Island, you can also take the opportunity to visit the remarkable Pearl Farm, including having an exclusive lunch with the Japanese farmers and viewing a demonstration of pearl seeding and harvesting.
Prince of Wales Island offers all the seclusion, adventure, fishing, camping, culture and beautiful people one could hope for, and with Thursday Island only 10 minutes away, there is no need to go without any facilities or services.
