G'day Brett,

I suspect that Port Douglas won't have too many old bush pubs ... it's pretty much an up-to-date tourist spot with all bells and whistles. (That said, it may well have 'backpacker' accommodation and inexpensive facilities.)

There is an "Aussie Glossary" in the Quick links, on Mudcat (on which I collaborated) ... but is is of a more folkloric bent than you would need to deal with the tourist belt types at Port Douglas. (And it might be a bit difficult to keep connected to the Mudcat while haggling over the laudromat facilities in Far North Queensland!) Have a browse through it anyway ... it may help.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
