We had new neighbours overnight Saturday – their main aim in
life seemed to be breaking the record for the number of times their whizzbang’s
door could be opened and shut!!! They
are definitely the new record holders.
Sunday morning was quite overcast; we needed to visit
Smithfield Shopping Centre market for some plants (basil and a flowering plant)
and it was raining heavily by the time we arrived. However, once we crossed the Barron River
Monday morning was time to continue the shopping recce for the
visitors, so Cairns Central was given the once over. Not much has changed since last year, perhaps
a couple of shops have moved location and I’m sure Myer still have the same
stock on sale. After lunch, we opted for
a drive and walk to the Crystal Cascades – so nice walking under the canopy but
very humid (the heat today has been much more intense). Following the record rainfalls in June, the
Cascades were much higher than we have ever seen them, with plenty of water
flowing over the rocks.
Cat is shedding badly – black fur all over the furniture.
Tuesday morning dawned clear and sunny – perfect weather to
welcome Kathryn and Emma to Cairns . The caravan park guests were treated to a
visit by a couple of keepers and inhabitants of the Cairns Zoo this morning – a
beautiful parrot, and olive python and an estuarine crocodile. I was happy to hold both the parrot and
crocodile but there were too many children lined up to cuddle the snake.
The lemon drizzle cake is cooling on the bench, we now have
to wait for the plane to arrive.
