NEWQUAY —A FAMED CORNISH RESORT.  

MO section of England possesses more links with  

Australia than Cornwall, described accurately in  

an old gazetteer as “A Maritime County of England,  

forming its s.-w. extremity, bounded by Devon on the  

east and washed on all other sides by the sea.” It is  

the ancestral home of the Commonwealth’s “Cousin  

Jacks,” whose industry and enterprise have exerted  

such profound effect in the advancement of Aus-  

tralia’s goldmining activities. Cornwall is Celtic  

county, whereas Devonshire is English, but it is land  

of prehistoric hut-circles, of holy wells and superb  

granite churches, having coastline of wondrous  

grandeur, jagged and fierce, with legion of sandy  

coves and tiny harbours, coupled with climate  

so mild and sea so Jblufi as ia become possessed of the  

designative, “The Cornish Riviera.” There is no  

more delightful spot than Newquay in this favoured  

realm, the centre of the pilchard fishery. Located on  

the north coast it is guarded by noble and sweeping  

stretch of rocks. The great charm of Newquay is its  

sands, some of (he most extensive and unbroken in  

England. At Porth, the bay adjacent to that around  

which Newquay is built, the sands at low water stretch  

half mile from high-water mark. Here are several  

remarkable caverns, that termed the Banqueting Hall  

being the finest. It has much the appearance of  

Gothic interior, while its neighbour and rival, the  

Cathedral Cave, boasts some five water-worn columns,  

favourite resort for Australian visitors, especially  

those possessing “Cousin Jack” connections, is an out-  

standing natural feature just to the west of the town—  

the great promontory—The lowan-—jutting far out  

into the sea. The point of lhe lowan is composed  

of fine mass of broken black rock which the sea has  

through the ages worn into strange and even eccentric  

forms. On the left of Towan Head may be seen some  

remains ol massive breakwater built practically  

century ago in an endeavour to form harbour for  

the fishing craft of North ornwall when caught  

westerly gales, which rage with terrific fury, bringing  

from the Atlantic mountainous seas, which proved the  

undoing of the breakwater. smaller artificial harbour  

has been built in more protected place and admirably  

serves the requirements of the fisher folk, also of the  

devotees of yachting and boating in the summer months.
