I broke my own rule and published Granite Gorge and then we decided to stay another day. I can always say that we only decided to extend this morning, but in truth we decided that last night after seeing the weather forecast. In Mareeba it would be sunny all day where everywhere else it would be raining. Easy choice, right?
So we woke up with enough wind to fly two kites, but no beach, ocean or lake or even open field to utilize it. So a slow start, breakfast, dogs dinner. Then to the office to extend with another day and this time it was my turn to have a look at the rock wallabies. Really nice little creatures, a miniature roo and they are really comfortable on the granite boulders that are here in abundance.
Then I saw Marjo with the two dogs and together we went back to the bus for a coffee and to drop Dotti off. She didn’t mind to stay “home”.
Then Nossi, Marjo and I set off on one of the trails around the place. Words are not required as pictures say more than the words I could write.
Back bruised, battered and tired after an awesome walk, we rested and sheltered a bit from the cold wind. Although the temperature is 20 degrees, the wind makes it feel much colder.
So after first snapping a picture of the cassowary turkey that walked up to us we went inside, had dinner in the bus, watched the TV series Bones and went to bed.
