I know I'm colour blind but I'm not THAT bad.


Looking forward to the photos, especially those ones using the sun shade as a filter.

Port Douglas 2

Where do I start?

We flew up this time, so it wasn’t as much fun, but I did go to the shitter as I passed over biggys hoose.
Pauline took a pile of photos on the way in for anyone who is thinking of settling up that way. The photos are taken just as we were arriving into Cairns.

The port is about an hours drive from the airport, but it’s a great drive. Pauline’s brother in law picked us up in his land rover. He takes it out bush, and its equipped for all kinds of terrain. So it was a bit of a rough ride, but we weren’t complaining. We were just glad to see family and getting picked up made life a lot easier.

Pauline just couldn’t wait to see her sister and the kids; you would think they had been apart for year’s lol
Im not sure if I posted photos of their house last time, but some of the views are just brilliant.
