The battered old seaplane that takes tourists for a ride.


One of the many seabirds


Looking south towards "Walshes Pyramid" at Gordonvale, the largest natural pyramid in Australia, if not the world.

The Marina


looking back from the jetty towards Cairns Esplanade


My Dream Yachts .... Sigh


The Pier Resort and Up Market Shopping Centre.


The Kids in their seat "0wning" the jetty.


One of the boats coming back from the Great Barrier Reef with tourists

I know just what you mean about those dream yachts -- there is one here that they drive up a truck loaded with a cord of wood for the fireplace. Some of the yachts are bigger than my house.

Then I tell myself we probably have more fun on our 25 foot Mako than they have on their yachts. Which sadly knowing some of the people who own the yachts is most likely true.

You all looked like you were having a ball -- I love the pic of the kids owning the jetty. The area you live in does look beautiful!!

I laughed when I took that picture. The kids decided to set themselves up that way to play a game and all the tourists were going around behind that big electricity and lights box you see on the left of the pic behind the bucket.

They had room on the other side but they were all grinning at the kids and talking to them letting them enjoy themselves.

i wanna go now! i had no idea that was down there!
