Helen - I think it was 'Make me a crocodile sandwich. And make it snappy.' I intend to try croc. on Friday in a local eaterie, along with more Skippy and a bit of Barramundi, a local fish.
Had another great day yesterday withe the temperature holding up at 27C (well, it is a tropical region, even though it is mid-winter here). We visited an artists co-op in the middle of the jungle and met a very nice original aboriginal called Boonca who made me a boomerang (just had to buy one!) and gave a throwing lesson. The village is called Kuranda and began life as a jungle-warfare training camp in WW2, was taken over by hippies in the 60s and is now an artists retreat. Very lovely, quiet place with coffee shops and small cafe's about the place. We also visited a butterfly farm where the inhabitants took an interest in Trish. - must be here pheremones (or is it fairy-moans?)
Today is a lazy day for us, just a beach walk, leisurely breakfast by the Pacific Ocean and a bit of shopping. Things are a bit quiet after the Aussie's got bashed by the Brazilians and we are at least missing the over-hype that is no doubt happening in the U.K., and we get to miss Wimbledon too. Result! (Bog off, Tim.)
Slobbing out this afternoon and then choosing a nice restaurant for din-dins tonight. Tomorrow we snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef. The Dilemma: Should I tell Trish about the sharks?
Your thoughts please.

Until about 10 minutes ago, there was the most ferocious noise going on outside: kids shouting, people mowing lawns and strimming, everyone talking at a million decibels. All sorts. It’s all suddenly gone utterly quiet. Spooky. You could hear a pin drop. Must be because the Rolling Stones have just kicked off against Abba.
