14th August – Friday
Today certainly wasn’t as exciting as yesterday! To finish yesterday’s news, there was a police raid in the caravan park early yesterday morning – someone had to get up earlier and make his own coffee – so saw the events unfold shortly after 6.30 am. A number of police, and cars, arrived and entered one of the units. After some discussion with the couple staying in the unit, the woman was taken away – haven’t heard why.
Very, very hot today – the northerly winds have arrived and the clouds are gone. This is more like the weather one would expect in Cairns at this time of the year.
A new caravan pulled in next to us last night and this morning the friendly Geelong supporters (we play Geelong tomorrow!) asked if we would like to go for a walk with them. This filled in the latter half of the morning quite comfortably.
Following lunch and while doing some ironing in the laundry, I was talking to a lady who informed me she came from Tasmania, Kingston in fact. After further swapping of details, it transpired her husband had taught Cameron at university, knew Cameron very well, being a fly fisherman, and knew Diane as well. It is a small country sometimes!
This afternoon we had another walk along the Esplanade – this time the tide was coming in – and tried out a Movenpick ice cream. Gave this brand a definite thumbs up, nicer than Baskin Robbins.
Some more photos of the balloon ride.
