In Cairns now, North Queensland - tropical, lush, humid, wet, rainy, palm trees, tropical plants, rain forests, barrier reefs - nice town from what we’ve seen so far. Wanted to see the barrier reef but it looks like the weather isn’t going to cooperate today - fortunately there are lots of other fun things to do in the area so we will pack in a full day tomorrow doing things other than dodging box jellyfish and great white sharks....
We took a gondola ride today up over a National Heritage Rainforest site - it was beautiful - super lush and green - birds, butterflies, huge tree ferns and waterfalls along the way made it a wonderful experience. The cable runs 7 kilometers to a cute little town called Karanda - touristy, but there were several stores with really nice aboriginal art - some of it is just beautiful - it’s also good to see the artists can make a decent living from their artwork...
Here's my found art shot of the day - glue from a sign that had been removed...
After Sydney, I was quite fit from all the walking, but I think I’ve gained a few kilos (yes, kilos) since then from all of the great food we’ve been eating. Think I need a restaurant intervention...
More tomorrow...
