The big news of Douglas rolls along with Newsport Print

Port Douglas and the Daintree are being sold to the southern states… at least the appeal of the world class destinations, that is.

And while that story takes pride of place on the front page of the latest edition of the FREE Newsport Daily Print edition now on the streets of Douglas Shire, it may not be the biggest news in your local community newspaper.

We now have a puzzles page, bringing readers not just the latest news, sports and business features in fully glossy colour, but also a stack more entertainment in the fortnightly print editions.

Disaster funding also is on the agenda, with Cyclones Narelle and Koji having impact on Douglas Shire despite little sign of them coming near to the Shire. And we take a look at the big push for Quaid’s Road to be upgraded and opened, a petition attracting thousands of signatures.

Tourists and locals can get the best taste of Douglas next weekend at Taste Port Douglas and we tell you how to be a part of that.

There’s a stack of social pics and a great look at the Mossman Show in pictures, along with plenty of letters and comments to keep you across just what people across the Shire have to say about the hottest topics.

In sport, it is almost time to cheer on hometown hero Matt Sheppard as he takes to the shot put arena in Glasgow as part of the Australian Commonwealth Games team. We tell you when you need to be sat in front of the television cheering on the Cooya father of three in the biggest contest of his life.

All of that and plenty more can be found in Newsport Print at the following outlets:
