Thursday
Today was a 'tourist' day -- yes it is a tourist town so it wasn't a surprise move.
Into town and down to Sky Rail to book our return trip - down on the 2:00pm train and back up on the Sky Rail. So in a tourist town what do you for 4 hrs whilst waiting for the train? You wander and look and browse and shop and drink coffee and have lunch and then catch the train. We only bought a kangaroo skin pouch for Lulu and a gorgeous print for Ruth.
The shops are full of what look like chinese made souvenirs and I have no idea how any of them make a living. We did see some lovely photos in a gallery: the photographer died at 49 years old and all photos were done on film, so no photoshop and were amazing (amazingly expensive as well).
The train trip down was the same as last time except then we didn't have a man behind us who entertained HIS fellow passengers by talking for an hour and a half in a loud voice--most annoying, but at the end I did congratulate him and shook his hand for his effort (but I don't believe he picked up the sarcasm).
Then a quick trip on the shuttle bus to Sky Rail and a fascinating ride across the tops of the rain forrest in a gondola, but only saw one bird for the whole trip and no crocs in the Barron River, which we crossed at a great height.
And believe or not it has rained today!!!!!!!
We also got back to a reassuring email from Jen, after her visit to a very expensive doctor.
Bye from rainy Queensland.
