Cairns

Himself spent time this morning completing setting up our living space, with both sun/wind screens now in position and chairs and tables set up.  He was also able to have time to continue reading his latest Kindle download.

The people from the Cairns Zoo actually turned out to be from Hartley’s Crocodiles and had two pythons, a small crocodile and a beautiful, young Major Mitchell cockatoo with them.  It was a really interesting and informative hour, especially learning that the Redlynch valley (where we are now) was one known as Taipan Junction!  We were assured that there are no taipans anywhere near the caravan park now.  Mmmmmm …

I then decided to allow a local doctor to practice his minor surgery skills on a lesion on my right palm (my bowling hand!!!), and will know next week if further surgery will be necessary.  Because I had been so brave, I was taken into Cairns this afternoon for our first Movenpick icecream of the season; as it has been so long since our last visit, a double header was definitely the order of the day.

Today is our 43rd wedding anniversary and a lovely white pot plant was delivered with the morning newspaper.

Very humid today – which translates to frequent light rain showers – so decided it was time to check out the changes at DFO.  The centre has been enlarged, some businesses have disappeared, new businesses have appeared; will return for a more detailed inspection at a later date.

After lunch, we were pleasantly surprised to see Gladys and Graeme (also bowlers from Hobart) wander past, so spent and hour or so catching up on news.  Dinner tonight was at a restaurant along the waterfront – and it RAINED!

Cat is shedding badly today – he doesn’t appreciate the warm and humid weather at all.
