We have had a great few days in Cairns with Mark and Amanda, Emily and Kaley. The girls have kept us busy at the swimming pool, the jumping pillow and the splash park. Amanda, Emily and I found time to all have a pedicure and all have lovely painted toenails. Em sits up and takes it like a pro now that she has had a couple. All of us apart from Philip spent an afternoon at the Aquarium checking out the wide variety of fish, snakes and lizards on show. While Mark and family went to the crocodile park, Philip and I caught up with some friends from WA who were also visiting Cairns. And we all ate seafood, lots and lots of seafood. Prawns, Coral Trout, Prawns, Barramundi, Prawns, Whiting and Prawns.
Now we are flying home for two weeks to look after Lily, Claire and Hugh (P- plus 2 or 3 Canines, cattle and sheep while their owners are either working or on vacation) for the school holidays before flying back to Cairns to continue our Caravaning.
(P- not sure if Judith mentioned the SEAFOOD! It is worth a second mention — and a third! I didn’t get to see much of Cairns and surrounds the last few days between a little Vehicle routine maintenance, a Siesta each afternoon and a little time teaching Emily and Kaley some tricks, tell them a few stories and spoil them with (sugar filled) sweets (just before they go back to Mummy and Daddy) it seemed to fill in my time. We will spend a few days sightseeing around the area on our return. Not sure about the 17-20 degree temperature drop we will experience as we go back to Tassie!)
Our track so far. 4500 k and 2800 k on gravel/dirt/station roads.

Family fun! and having a blast. You certainly have covered some miles and look like the weather has been perfect.
So jealous.
