We went to the Cook Islands on our way to Australia in 1988.

The Cook Islands $2 coin is a distinctive, triangular-shaped coin featuring Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a "Kumete" (traditional mortar and pestle) on the reverse. Introduced in 1987, the currency is pegged at par with the New Zealand dollar.

It has a depiction of a "Kumete" which has been traditionally used to pound root foods such as arrowroot. This particular "Kumete" is a traditional one from the island of Atiu and is illustrated in Sir Peter Bucks great work on Polynesian artifacts.

When I was a child, and young girl, we had several holidays in Jersey, in the Channel Islands.
Above, me with my first camera, and an earlier photo, with my Mother and I on the left, and my friend Wendy, on the right, who joined us on one holiday.
Both photos taken near the same wall, possibly in St Helier.

Holiday in the Whitsundays, Queensland!

Captain James Cook, then a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, passed through these islands in 1770, on his first voyage around the world in the Endeavour.

'Indeed the whole passage is one continued safe harbour,' he noted on the morning of Sunday, 3 June. It was Whitsun, the seventh Sunday after Easter and the feast of Pentecost, so Cook named it the Whitsunday Passage and one of what he called the Cumberland Islands -- Pentecost Island.

With over 90 islands stretching from Bowen in the north to the Repulse Islands in the south, the Whitsunday group is part of Australia’s largest offshore island chain, known as the Cumberland group. All the islands and their surrounding waters (collectively known as 'the Whitsundays') have international protection as part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. In addition, some islands have been declared national parks by the Queensland Government.
