Re: Cairns photos
Last ones from there.
On the way back down a guana (?) lizard walked across the road in front of us.
About 3 feet long.
Also a wild turkey.
Didn't get any piccies of those

Yes, it's the humidity that makes the difference and that is beginning to build now and will be high for about 3 months.
I try not to think about it too much. Just try to accept it's there and get on with it.........aircon is something we couldn't live without up here though.
It's all about putting up with the 3 months to benefit for the other 9 months.
Would rather put up with this than the cold.
