Blue Water marina
Cairns Queensland

| Beautiful tropical foliage |
We didn’t venture far today. I spent most of the morning reading my book
and gently scratching around my midgie bites and trying not to complain too
much. (Pete’s bites are more plentiful
and much worse-looking and he doesn’t complain anywhere near as much as I do…). These are such amazing little creatures; they
a re invisible to the naked eye but they make huge mound-like bites which itch
like crazy. Thank God for
antihistamines!

In the afternoon we went for a gentle stroll down to the
nearest beach and then round the back of Earl’s Hill. (It had to be a gentle stroll; it is much too
hot to attempt a faster pace.)
It was all very pleasant. Lots of big new houses being built on the edge
of the forest.
Some very big intricate spider webs

Pete in our closest waterway, working out how we can
get 2XS beached in the next few days at low tide so the welder can weld up the holes
in the hulls.
And in a very different part of Australia…Nicky doing the Bondi-Bronte walk with her beloved aunt Karen
early in the morning before a conference.
