Here We Go Again – Chapter 37 – Cairns Day 5
We are not disappointed at Millaa Millaa. The falls are majestic flows of water falling many metres to a pool. The walk down to the viewing area is slippery and when we get to it, work out we could have driven directly to it.
Here We Go Again – Chapter 35 – Cairns Day 3
Silver Leader and Forbsy need beer and we could do with some bubbles for Robyn and a bottle of bourbon. Once back I return a call from my son, who introduces us to his new girlfriend, Anna, and discusses the purchase of a new house.

There is one more stop to make. An ice cream vendor on the way. One which uses local fruits, grown on the farm to create delectable treats for the tourists. We are those and we are savouring them, given we have been loaded up with a selection of their fare.

Back to the website story. We (John Tonkin and I) have created detailed procedures for uploading both Chapter/Blogs and Photographs/Products and both are working within the limitations until one day, they simply stop
The Long Way Home – Chapter 17 – Gladstone Day 15
I leant very quickly about the misnomer of the establishment, their tenuous grip on reality and in Colin’s words, in great need of a good dose of a degree in gutter technology. Certainly able to hold my own in supposedly higher company, I just went about it.
The Long Way Home – Chapter 16 – Gladstone Day 14
