Dr Bob reporting from far North Queensland

Tuesday

Actually we are in the same place as yesterday--Granite "Gorge".
Yesterday we all did the short walk, heaving and pulling the girls over the rocks, so today Barry and I decided to be macho and do the long walk which was much more difficult. As we finished we felt very self righteous; that is until we looked behind us to find a young Austrian couple and their two daughters, who were about 3 and 4 years old, trotting along behind us.
The afternoon was spent being tourists visiting the highlights of Mareeba - like Rivers for a pair of sandals and the Reject Shop for odds and ends. We did get to the information centre which had an interesting historical museum attached to it and of course had a cup of coffee at Coffee Works (too late for the tour).
Then it was home, light the fire, have nibbles, drink wine, cook tea, have a shower and go to bed!!!-- a bit like yesterday and in fact every day for the last month.
