I just love the rainforests – lush, green, dense, ferns, palms, birds. Of course, we’re visiting in the dry season so thankfully there isn’t much rain to spoil our fun. We did a very rugged trek over a ridge to find this gorgeous waterfall – then had the spot all to ourselves to just luxuriate in its beauty.
Some of the spots we have found to camp have views to die for. Most of the creeks and rivers have water in them, such a change to dry South Australia and the water is so crystal clear that you can see native fish and turtles swimming around.
A cruise to the Great Barrier Reef was spectacular in more ways than one. The little bit of the reef that we were privileged to see was just magnificent. I couldn’t believe the incredible variety in the shapes, textures, colours and types of coral that are there, not to mention the very colourful fish that abound. Then we were able to spend some time on Michaelmas Cay amongst the nesting birds with their chicks. The other spectacular side I could have done without – 3 metre swell, up to 45 knot winds and a VERY rough trip. Needless to say I was very seasick in spite of taking tablets. Loving husband enjoyed every minute of the cruise without feeling squirmish for one second!
Still haven’t done much stitching – too much to see and do in this wonderful place! I hope to put the next block of the BOM on the website soon.
Happy stitching!
