Great to see sunrise over the ocean again, don't you think sunrise looks soooooo much better with palm trees?
Or is that just me??

Um, why don't we have races?
... I witnessed them brand, clip, and de-horn some of the cattle. An eye opener for sure, but happy to have been able to try it.

Arrival into Cairns
... I would enjoy the Sky TV and so went to bed at 10pm with my alarm set for 01:45am. I planned to catch the opening 6 nations England game against the auld enemy, Scotland on ESPN. After that I would watch the mighty NUFC on Fox Sports. A real treat. Prior to check out from the Mission Beach retreat I decided to write a nice online review on tripadvisor for the hostel which in my opinion was thoroughly deserved, even if there were external motives factored into ...
