Cairns (revisited)

Did I tell you that it is still raining here? No getting homesick here.

The Atherton Tablelands were beautiful, lots of rainforests and even the waterfall where the original Timotei commercial was filmed. Also managed to steal a glimpse of a Platypus. The experience was much like that of spotting the Loch Ness monster - something semi-appears out of the water for a couple of seconds and disappears back under again. Was it a log, was it a turtle, was it a water snake, was it a fish, no it was a Platypus!

Finally off this afternoon to dive the Great Barrier Reef on the Taka for 1 week! Will be doing some shark feeding too. Hopefully not with my appendages though.

The sun just appeared. Must run and get my dose of Vitamin B for the week.
