Cairns Again

Wednesday, 28th August



No worries about crocodiles or snakes sleeping in this!

Monday morning saw a mass exodus from the caravan park, with about half of the residents up bright and early in the rush to get out the gate. By 8.00 am, there was a long line stretching back from the gate; the sensible leavers waited until after 9.00 am, when rush hour traffic had lessened. James and Maureen were part of the rush, attempting to leave by 8.00 am. The remainder of the day was fairly quiet as we waited for the afternoon rush of inwards caravans. It is amazing how quickly the park refills, even at this time of the year. There is also quite a variety of camper-trailers! Cat has decided he definitely prefers the comfort of our caravan.

We had a quite heavy downpour during the night, with overcast skies for the early part of Tuesday. Tuesday morning was a chance to catch up with filling the bickie tins – we have cooking bickies in the turbo oven down pat by now, much to someone’s delight! The afternoon was spent at the hairdressers for one of us, and a quiet afternoon catching up on some reading for the other. We also played our final game of bowls last night, saying goodbye and promising to return, hopefully, next year.
