We are embracing retirement, and making the most of it.

We knew we were never going to sit still for long, so whilst we are happy and healthy we will be out and about seeing the world………… full time.

We are out of the fast lane and taking the slow road ahead

Cairns Winter 😎

We have forgotten how warm it is in Cairns during the winter, and a bonus of no humidity! Average 26° during the day with sunny skies, overnight a little cooler …about 16-18°.

The pool is still lovely most days, and had a swim last Friday


Derek’s foot has been well rested, not perfect yet still a little swollen, but we have tried a few 4km walks over the last week and it seems to be handling it.  

A family outing to the foreshore Esplanade, and collected a few shells, Derek was on croc spotting duty, not that one has been seen along here for awhile


Croc was spotted nearer the marina in May 2022, and also the far end of the Esplanade just 50m from the kids playground in 2017.


Shells for our next project, finger nails too


Another trip to the movies …. This time Thor, really enjoyed it


Always enjoy a trip to Copperlode Dam, Lake Morris in the mountain range directly behind Cairns





Water over the Spillway into Freshwater Creek, haven’t seen that for years


Bird of the week, is the tiny and sweet chirping Olive Backed Sunbird, found in Queensland and Southern Asia,  they visit us at our Caravan, also at Lake Morris and also in Craig’s garden


Here’s hoping to get out and about a bit further as Derek’s foot improves
