Re: Cairns photos
Now pay close attention to this plant.
It is one of the most dangerous around.
It is like a stinging nettle except miles worse and continues to be a problem for months afterward.
I did here a story about some army cadets out in the forest on exercises and they used this nice broad leaf to wipe parts of the body
Second piccie is a banana plant.

Snakes, dingos, kasawara and the Aboriginal dancing, boomerang and spear throwing.
They are always offering special deals for locals and we had free entry by using the coupon in the local newspaper. Just costs us 10 bucks for the trip on the army duck and the cost of a sandwich. A cheap day.

Time for a 16km drive up into the mountains for our visit to the Copperlode Dam.
Steep, windy and narrow roads through the rainforest.
