Into Cairns and Grafton Street to the Canopy Art Gallery. www.canopyarts.com
1000 sq mts of space that's dedicated to showcasing Queensland's indigenous artists. We had a great chat there with someone who explained some of the stories depicted in the prints and etchings which brought then to life and gave us a whole new appreciation of the art.
Wednesday 23rd June
It rained most of the day so we decided to stay at home reading and a brief walk in between the rain showers. However it was still a warm day.
Thursday 24th June
The weather was much better today with no rain forecasted so set off to Atherton in the tablelands heading for Mareeba where we stopped off for a coffee at the Coffee Works.

On through Atherton to Herberton an historical village which we seemed to have missed when we were here last year. Not many people around so we were able to take our time and wander around the place at our leisure.

Having had a full day and quite a long drive back to our home base and with the rain clouds gathering we started the drive down to Cairns which was at least an hour away .
