Cairns markets, FABULOUS
Friday, Saturday and Sunday every week ....this is the place to shop for vegies, spices, hair clips, novelty items,
have Vietnamese or Samoan, Thai or junk food. Read the paper while having great coffee or generally passing the time of day engaging with locals and tourists. Living in cairns would definitely need a once a week "spend the day" doing the food and veg shop!

Spider eyes in the dark
We discovered, walking at night with our LED head lights that there were lots of little sparkles along the ground. On closer inspection we were picking up spiders eyes. Apparently spiders have 8 eyes! We can verify that they don't all sparkle in the flashlight!
All about sugar cane
This is a landscape that will change over the next few weeks. The harvesting has begun. We have noted on our travels that in the engineering of cane some crops have lost their grass tops. A generation down the track may never know that sugar had a grass top!

Bush poetry a lot of fun
An Australian Poem.
The sun was hot already-it was only 8o'clock
The cocky took off in his Ute, to go and check his stock.
He drove around the paddocks checking wethers,ewes and lambs
The float valves in the water troughs, the windmills and the dams.
He stopped and turned a windmill on to fill a water tank
And saw an ewe down in the dam, a few yards from the bank.
"Typical bloody sheep"' he thought "they've got no common sense
They wont go through a gateway but they jump a bloody fence".
The ewe was stuck down in the mud, he knew without a doubt
She'd stay there 'til she carked it if he didn't get her out.
But when he reached the water's edge, the startled ewe broke free
And in her haste to get away, began a swimming spree.
He reckoned once her fleece was wet, the weight would drag her down
If he didn't rescue her, the stupid sod would drown.
Her style was unimpressive, her survival chances slim
He saw no other option, he would have to take a swim.
He peeled his shirt and singlet off, his trousers, boots and socks
And as he couldn't stand wet clothes, he also shed his jocks.
He jumped into the water and away the cocky swam
He caught up with her, somewhere in the middle of the dam.
The ewe was quite evasive, she kept giving him the slip
He tried to grab her sodden fleece but couldn't get a grip.
At last he got her to the bank and stopped to catch his breath
She showed him little gratitude for saving her from death.
She took of like a Bondi tram around the other side
He swore next time he caught that ewe he'd hang her bloody hide.
Then round and round the dam they ran, although he felt quite puffed
He still thought he would run her down, she must be nearly stuffed.
The local stock rep came along, to pay a call that day
He knew this bloke was on his own, his wife had gone away.
He didn't really think he's get fresh scones for morning tea
But nor was he prepared for what he was about to see.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief at what came into view
For running down the catchment came this frantic looking ewe.
And on her heels in hot pursuit and wearing not a stitch
The farmer yelling wildly, "Come back here, you lousy bitch!"
The stock rep didn't hang around, he took off in his car
The cocky's reputation has been damaged near and far.
So bear in mind the Work Safe rule when next you check your flocks
Spot the hazard, assess the risk, and always wear your jocks.

The must have beach couch
Fantastic little find at the market.
It has sides and back flap as well.
Also comes with sand bags to hold it down in wind.
This means we can read in comfort and shade outdoors.

About 30klms Nth of Rockhampton
This turned out to be a really lucky stopover. We got the last 2 tickets to a performance of opera in the caves. A variety of favourite arias with some Les Miserable and other shows. The grey water outlets here housed little green frogs! A good reason to be using earth products.
