Certainly
warming up again, trying to create a storm though it has been pleasant last
week after the rain shower on Saturday. Mummy sunbird tried out her nest this
morning.
Went
down for a cuppa with Terry and Erica at the van park and caught up on all the
news etc. Gave Erica her 80th birthday gold for her pendant.
Erica
gave me a silver locket with tumbled and cut gemstones that they have fossicked
for. Very pretty. Went through the family history information too.
Had
lunch with them then went off to get the food for family tea tomorrow night.
Picked
them up about 4.30 for a wander around Cairns foreshore and to check out the
renovated Munro Martin Park. They had lived in Cairns from when Steve was 12
till he was 18 then moved to Bundaberg with Terry’s work – Dept of Forestry.
Got
the new marlin statue that I missed the other day.
This
is a great tourist attraction – eating the fish straight off the boat – or on
it as these people are doing.
Walked
up into the Pier boardwalk – another good shot of the marlin and all the boats.
Inside
the Pier shopping complex was a display of buildings built by a local man – Col
Walter. This shows the Esplanade ‘s main buildings etc.
This
is the Jack & Newell Building and the Barrier Reef Hotel that I took photos
of the other day.
Malay
Town.
Not
sure which Street these huts depict.
Chinatown
in Sachs Street (now Grafton St).
Wandered
around Munro Martin Park. Found Mum & Dad curlew with their chick. Mum was
very protective of her chick as Steve walked towards them.
Checking
out the sandpaper vine we saw that the green ants have moved in quickly. They
need a info board about them!! Their green bum is tasty – apparently!!
Two
Torres Strait pigeons were cuddling above us.
Dropped
them off then back home for a quiet night.
