We are grateful for many things, including the time we spent catching up with my cousins, they are such an inspiration to us and we had a fabulous day out on Friday. We picked them up very early in the morning and drove up the range to the Windin Falls trail head by 8.30am for a 12km return hike, the chance to be amongst nature and visit this awesome waterfall on the Atherton Tablelands which has an abundance of National Parks, lakes and waterfalls to explore. We are grateful to be settled in Cairns close to Craig and family, and for the opportunity they give us to serve them and to spend time with Ayla.
Awesome view at Windin Falls down the valley in Wooroonooran NP to Mt Bellenden Ker in the distance
Didn’t go for a dip in the infinity pool, too close to the 200 metre drop for us
Sunrise, Sunset, a great drive, hike and a rock scramble down to the waterfall at the end
We are grateful for the beautiful botanic gardens next to our Apartment and the free Birding mornings every Tuesday. It gave me an opportunity to stroll through the gardens and enjoy the plants and birds with very experienced nature lovers... 48 bird species spotted
We enjoy our morning walk through these gardens, and up and down the tough Red and Yellow Arrow Hiking Trails, it is easy to find a 5km circuit in and around the gardens
Chinese Friendship Garden
Bird of the week is the Yellow Green Oriole, unusual pink beak, its call is so loud and clear, but he is hard to spot
