What a fun, full day! We decided to drive inland as we had heard talk of The Tablelands. We drove a circle from Cairns, to Gordonvale, to Yungaburra, to Atherton, to Mareeba, to Kuranda and back to Cairns. We stopped at breathtaking Heales Lookout, lunched at Atherton; chicken kebobs for most of us, stopped at the Crystal Cave where Pam found a geode to her liking, walked a bit in the Curtain Fig Tree National park and saw a beautiful specimen of a Curtain Fig Tree. All in all a day to remember! After a swim in our condo pool we headed to town and our favorite Thai restaurant and then to the night markets where Bosco purchased T-Shirts and some stones for me: a Kumbaba and a Dendritic Opal from Western Australia. Now the necessary evil PACKING to head to Alice Springs. It’s sad to think of leaving here but on to new adventures.
