After several long days in the car, we have planned a few days in Cairns with time to relax and explore, do the washing and shopping before the next part of our trip. The weather is nice, warm and sunny and much more comfortable than the past few days. We found a place to buy cryovac meat that will keep fresh in the fridge for a few weeks, and we found a supermarket and stocked up on all we need for the next 3 weeks. No more Woolworths where we are going!
Dad drove us around Cairns and showed us where the rich and glitzy stay (nowhere near us). We saw the Cannonball tree - a very unusual tree with cannonball-like fruit and there are only two in Australia. James and Rick walked up to Crystal Cascades waterfall, and Helen went for a swim in the pool (only just warm enough). We bought a fillet of Barramundi and grilled it on the Barbie for tea, along with a taste of the local bugs (the crustacean variety).
