29th August – Saturday
Even hotter today – and no clouds! Glad we are not playing bowls.
It has taken us six weeks, but this morning we finally made it to Yorkey’s Nob for the very first time. Yorkey’s Nob is one of the beachside areas of Cairns and not quite as old as Machens Beach. The Nob is actually a hill on the headland, with some very nice houses with some very nice views – and some very nice cars! There was a very nice beach, complete with life savers and stinger net. The boat club is very well known, both among Cairns locals and tourists, has a very nice clubhouse overlooking the Coral Sea and some very nice yachts moored in the marina.
We have started to get organised for our departure on Monday morning – the freezer is chock-a-block and both the car and caravan have been washed.
The afternoon has been spent inside the caravan with the air conditioner going – much to Cat’s relief. He does struggle with the heat. In fact, the caravan park has had a very sleepy feel to it this afternoon, with most people inside.
Hope the weather in Victoria and Tasmania soon improved!

We stayed inside as well - only dry place. Bring back the drought.
