5 August – Tuesday
Happy hour last night ended up with 12 people and resulted in us all going to a trivia night tonight at the local bowls club and arrangements were made for bare foot bowls on Friday night. Some wonderful snake stories also evolved. Someone happened to mention that he came across a snake during his birdwatching walk – forgot to mention it to me! Then one of the men said he had nearly run over one on his bike, a lady had seen a snake behind one of the washing machines in the laundry and another lady had seen one returning from a 2.30am visit to the amenities block. Thank goodness for caravans with showers and toilets!
Very hot today. First item on the agenda was to move the caravan to another site, so we can stay until next Monday. Once the caravan left from the site we had to go on to, it was a simple matter of hooking up and having Phillip direct us on. I think we are way down the line of people who want to take Phillip with them when they leave.
After settling in, Les finally decided that he should check out the Cairns medical facilities and his cough was directed to the Cairns 24 Hour Medical Centre. This place was just like a factory, operating for tourists and members of the local indigenous community. After his allocated five minutes, Leslie left clutching an inhaler and prescription for antibiotics. Hopefully these will make life more pleasant for those in his immediate vicinity.

No snakes here - too cold!
Well Jack feels for Les. He's been coughing for about two weeks and on antibiotics for 10 days and still going.Back to the doctor today to see what can be done. Shan
Ooh, I do love a good trivia night... Sounds like there is also plenty to do up in the Daintree!
