Good morning frog fans and g'day from Cairns in NE Aus.
Yesterday the humans and I flew about 1500 miles north to the rain-forests of Cairns. Very nice here and the humans have planned all sorts of stuff for us to do. Tomorrow we are going into the rain-forests and getting close to the insects. One worry was the fact that there are dead toads all over but apparently they have had a problem with cane-toads breeding out of control and the toads are now fair game for anyone. Wish I was breeding too much...They have also arranged a snorkelling trip on the Great Barrier Reef. Wonder if they'll find Nemo? There is some talk of a cycling trip which includes a swim in a lake of natural water in an extinct volcano. Count this frog out.
Anyways, I digress. Whale watching was fun for all except one of the Japs who was, er just a little ill. Mind you the 1st mate was a bit cruel when he came below and microwaved a bowl of minestrone soup right in front of her. Just made her chuck again, poor bloody Nip! And another thing...Why do people have to complicate foods? The Americans do it with eggs (sunny-side up, over easy etc.) and the Aussie-stralians do it with coffee. Can I have a black coffee? Can I heck! Short black, skinny white, long black. It's another lingo, dingo.
This morning we took our first walk around and headed towards the beach. First sign we saw? BEWARE OF CROCODILES! It just isn't safe for a frog around here. The male human has plans to try a crocodile steak sometime this week and had another part of skippy last night. Bloomin' animal! And I don't mean the croc.
Must hop.
Ribbit!

Was it Groucho Marx who said: "Get me a crocodile steak, and make it snappy"?
Dearest Paul, Trish, and Kermit, I have just finished reading your thrilling account of your travels. I am salivating.....I love Kermie and Tower Eiffel picture. The "journal" is an absolute work of art. Thanks for making my day, wonderful bit of writing, what?
Love to all three of you, Lynne Andrews from your CML group.
