May Day weekend in Cairns.....

On the May long weekend we ventured up to Cairns. Considering I hadn't been further north in Australia than Nambour (very sad), we jumped at the opportunity when friend Nishan invited us to come up and stay in the resort where he was accommodated while he was working in Cairns for about 8 weeks. Kevin had been to Cairns a number of times so it wasn't new to him, but I loved the green-ness c.f. south east Qld (at the moment), the beautiful rainforests and lots of water. Australia is truly a beautiful country.
We ventured further north of Cairns as far as the Daintree which is just north of Mossman, again so very lush and beautiful. We were blessed with gorgeous weather, not at all humid and cool-ish at night. Not sure I'd like to be there in the wet season though.
Fortunately Kevin and I will be making another trip up there later in the year, as Kevin won a business-class all expenses paid trip up there just 2 days after we had purchased the tickets for this trip. A tough life!!!!!
We also met up with the Fysh's on Sunday at church, and had a lovely meal at their home that night.
Have just put up a random selection of pics, with not much explanation as we've had some upheaval here at home this week since we returned. ENJOY...
