The weather has been perfect for the last days. However it did rain quite hard on Wednesday evening.
Since last posting we have visited the Flecker Botanic Gardens where we also had a lesson in playing the steel drums and then joined in on a couple of numbers.
Visited;-
The Crystal Cascades where we did the scenic walk along side the cascades. Here we had to watch out for the stinging tree.
Also the Tanks Art Centre near the Botanical Gardens.( Read the history as to how they made use of these huge tanks that once held oil to service the war requirements during WW11). It is now an Arts Centre
We also decided to go up to Kuranda on the scenic railway, something we haven't done for 20 odd years and then return on the Sky rail which hadn't been built at that time.
Kuranda, aptly named the village in the rainforest which has been listed as World Heritage www.kuranda.org.
All this has kept us quite busy and we still have lots to do whilst we enjoy this lovely warm climate.
We have also been into Cairns a few times,on one occasion enjoying a $10 lunch deal at the Irish Pub located in one of the original buildings.
wow
