The first two weeks of January.

Took Stuart and James round the botanical gardens one day and up to the tablelands and to Granite Gorge for another day out. Meet up with Allen and Ann Thursday(4th) and the guys all went fishing the following day so Ann and I went shopping. Had to say goodbye to Allen and Ann on the 6th. Spent the next few days lazing round the pool and the lagoon on the esplanade. Stuart and James went white water rafting on Tuesday(9th). Had to say goodbye to the boys today. We plan to stay in Cairns till Saturday when we will start tackling the east coast proper.
