A few stops at various places along the way, including views of the Barron Falls from both sides of the gorge. A most enjoyable excursion through some of the history and natural beauty of the place.
Tomorrow will be a little more casual. A drive to local places, Josephine Falls and Babinda Boulders, then a trip back into Cairns for some shopping and R&R before I start work again tomorrow.
Today also hits the half way mark of the five weeks I am here. Its strange doing the tourist stuff without company, although its nice to be able to share with you all via this blog. I have started to miss the family too .. looking forward to coming home in just over two weeks.
Quite a few photos taken today, with a small sample attached to this email.
These are of the Skyrail and Barron Falls.
The streets and shops of Kuranda .. and the butterflies.
I will drop you all a small note tomorrow evening.
Ciao.

With all that sightseeing that you are doing .... how do you get time to work. Babinda Rocks brings back many good memories. Dad
Hi John,
Greetings from Brewarrina (half way through my fortnight).
I'm enjoying your blog. I'm very sympathetic about the 'missing the family' feelings - I know exactly what you mean, and I never go away for more than a fortnight unless Marie comes too! I admire you for tackling 5 weeks.
Babinda sounds like a very interesting place. What technique did you use for the tick?

.. although we cheated a little. Forceps removal but with imbedded mouth parts I used an 18G needle as a mini-scalpel to excise a small fragment of skin along with the mouth-part fragments. Good outcome.
