After breakfast at the Stuarts, we drove into Cairns to check out the new 'lagoon' area on the foreshore, then headed south to Mission Beach (via a Kurrimine detour to see the Stuart's holiday spot) to drop in on Techo's parents in their home-away-from-home. Then we turned west and headed inland to the Undara Volcanic National Park.
Highlights from today (Sun-9-Aug):
- deluxe cooked breakfast at the Stuart's
- seeing the foreshore development at Cairns
- catching up with Mum & Dad and seeing their winter hiding spot at Mission Beach
- Bev's leftover-roast sandwiches with chutney & mustard
- listening to a Hamish & Andy podcast to pass the time on the road
- finding a peaceful & remote campsite, away from the crowds, in the back carpark at Undara Lodge (all regular campsites full!)
Lowlights:
- not finding the topless section of the Cairns foreshore
- pulling into the overly-commercialised Undara Lava Lodge
- a Kookaburra flew in & stole our salad as we were dishing up
- this evening we've had to dig out jumpers from the bottom of our bags
Tomorrow we'll head towards Winton/Longreach (haven't yet decided).
Tosh & Techo.
