Our Cairns Trip - Day 8

Our last day in Cairns, started off with breakfast at the Coffee Club at the Smithfield shopping centre.

After breaky we cruised around the centre looking at the community markets being held inside the centre.

The girls were very excited, as we finally found someone who sells the skate shoes that JP has been after for a while. Needless to say that CB needed a pair as well.

After the markets we took a trip out to Crystal Cascades (out past Redlynch). It was a bit like Mossman Gorge but not as wide and far less tourists. We walked all the way to the end of the track to see the spot where it starts, at least we thought it would, but the track doesn't go that far.

We saw a turtle sunning itself on a rock in the middle of the river and luckily for us we didn't come in contact with any stinging vines that were signposted everywhere. Also there were heaps of the bluest dragonflies I have ever seen.

After leaving Crystal Cascades we went back to AB, UD & RDJ's place for lunch before going back to the unit to take the girls in for a swim.

Then back to AB, UD & RDJ's for tea. UD cooked us a damn fine meal of Corned Beef and vegies. After tea we watched the final of SYTYCD before heading back to the unit to pack up ready to leave tomorrow at o'dark hundred (sparras fart).

First Day Back

Well, today is the day. The first day back at work after a 5 weeks off with the kids. You couldn't really call it a holiday though as we didn't go away anywhere. Surprisingly, I am actually not apprehensive about the return to work as the break was sufficiently long enough to clear my head of all the troubles and happenings of the past year. That and I enjoy the work I do, in the main.
