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...
Little Crystal Creek |
… or Jean standing somewhere nice wearing a big hat.
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 |
But dinosaur attacks are rarer than you'd think...
Hughenden |
unless you've had a few – in which case they are waiting on every corner.
Hughenden Hotel |
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...
The daily commute – Mission Beach |
Dunk Island from Mission Beach |
See ya.
I Still Call Australia Home lyrics
ReplyDeleteI've been to cities that never close down
From New York to Rio and old London town
But no matter how far or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home
I'm always traveling, I love being free
And so I keep leaving the sun and the sea
But my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home
All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world
Away from their family and friends
But as the world gets older and colder
It's good to know where your journey ends
And someday we'll all be together once more
When all of the ships come back to the shore
I'll realize something I've always known
I still call Australia home
But no matter how far or wide I roam
I still call Australia, I still call Australia, I still call Australia home
But no matter how far or wide I roam
I still call Australia, I still call Australia, I still call Australia home
