The Last Post

Well, not really. There must be at least one more blog in us before we hit Brisbane. That just seemed like another good banner for blowing our own trumpets. Nevertheless, the end of the road is in sight.

The road to Julia Creek


It is probably just as well – there are only so many literary devices I can use as an excuse to show yet another photo of me jumping into water...

Waiting for Frodo – Little Crystal Creek



Spice it up a bit, I hear you saying – can't you get attacked by dinosaurs or something more exciting than just more waterfalls and fish.

Big Head Falls – Townsville
Jean's mum used to say that there were plenty more of these in the sea - Hughenden

In fact, strange occurrences like that are just not that strange when you are in North Queensland.

Cassowaries beware – Mission Beach

What frog? - Tully


But in the end, give or take the odd frog in the loo or gecko on the ceiling, North Queensland is pretty well just the same old same old, day in, day out...

See ya.
