Perfect weather allowed for many day trips to scenic lookouts, waterfalls, rainforests, beaches, night markets, skating, and to see rock wallabies and butterflies.
The highlight had to be our day out to Normanby Island in the Frankland Island group. We all snorkeled off the beach and also 200 metres off the shore in open waters with large turtles and tons of tropical fish, huge clams and pretty coral. Jacey and Jayde were excellent first time snorkelers. Mt Bartle Frere and the Pyramid along the Qld coast made a beautiful back drop as we sailed out of the Russell River to the reef.
Some other great family moments we will treasure
Rex Lookout Captain Cook Highway
Jayde has now officially built the biggest cairn (with a little help from Pa)
Ayla loved hanging out with her cousins
Sugar World adventure park
Meeting baby Blake
Mossman Gorge
Granite Gorge Rock Wallabies
Josephine Falls
It was one big sleep over
So sad to see them leave, and with our time in Cairns coming to an end we may not see them again until Christmas.
