"Torres Strait islands, discoverd by Spaniards" Thursday Island by jorgejuansanchez

Probably he also discovered Australia mainland.
The monument was erected by the Spanish embassador in Australia to conmemorate Torres discovery of the islands

welcome to Thursday island

Welcome to Torres Strait Islands.
Probably Thursday is not the most interesting island of the archipelago, but I had no time, nor money, to visit the rest, apart from Horn island, where the airport is located.

the ferry is cheap

You have to take a ferry from Horn island to Thursday island, the capital of the archipelago.

• Pros:interesting and historical place
• Cons:hard to get there, only by plane from Cairns
