Well to start off we missed this awful cyclone, (they call hurricanes that here) but apparently the storm caused an incredible hot humid day, I nearly melted, but there is too much of me too melt now! It was bad.
One of the choices is the Great Barrier Reef! I chose not to see it, one because of my bad back and neck, two because I thought it would make me too sad. Besides my friend has ear trouble and she couldn’t go..her husband did. Mine chose to stay with us.
We decided to take the sky rail to the top town of karuanda. We met the guide and went to the sky rail. A rather long ride over the rain forest. It’s like taking the gondola on a ski lift but it keeps on going and going over this dense thick forest. You see beautiful water falls. We even got off and took a short hike to see them.
Then we got to town and walked around the few streets. I saw an aborigines play a dereido! When I figure how to transfers pic I will load them. We went shopping, opals are the thing in Aussie town. They are everywhere and generally expensive. I had to get one, and a kangaroo necklace, and some souvenirs.
We then went for lunch, I had barramundi, it’s fish, it covered the plate, talk about a serving! Fries loaded underneath. Way too much and very fresh tasting.
Then we took a 100 year old train back, only no a/c I was drenched. It was an interesting ride back to the town. When we got back I stood in the cold water shower. Then dressed and went to the buffet.
We went to the entertainment who was a comedian, imitating all sorts of characters and he was very good and funny.
Now I need some sleep
