The latest Newsport Daily Print edition is now out and on the streets for readers to grab.

Get on board the latest and best news from across the Douglas Shire from today with your free Newsport Daily Print edition out today, where the biggest current news is the push for public transport in Port Douglas and surrounds.

Read about the offer on the table that would link Mossman to Port Douglas and provide invaluable transport services across the region and answer the calls of tourism operators.

The transportation of cane also is a hot topic with a $6 million State Government pledge to transport cane from the region to the Mulgrave Sugar Mill in Gordonvale hoped to save the local sugar industry. Feedback in a packed letters and comments section, though, suggests not all are happy about the proposal.

Local households were rocked by a recent crime spree and the region has been caught up in a super sized superannuation scheme scandal, but it is certainly not all doom and gloom in Douglas with a new book festival coming to town this weekend, plenty of smiles for NAIDOC Week celebrations and Taste Port Douglas just around the corner.

We have all the details on how you can get involved and join in all of the celebrations and activities for some of the best in Far North Queensland entertainment.

And our sports section also celebrates some of the very best, with local wheelchair athletics champion Matt Sheppard detailing his hopes and dreams of competing at the highest level, while Port Douglas Croc star Kye Chapple has scored his 900th goal for the local team. Read about their achievements and more in our sports section.
