At the top of the 'Bruce'
We made it to Cairns today, at the top of the Bruce highway, which I think is like some kind of funny monty python thing. This will be where we part from the sea and head inland for a while. We have driven through about a thousand kms of sugar cane. Danielle and I reckon that the only two jobs in Queensland were cutting cane and selling xxxx Gold. She reckons its everyones job to drink it though. We saw our first Cassowarie from a distance, and although we have seen lots of signs on the beaches warning against crocs, we haven't seen any yet. We did some swimming yesterday in Tully Gorge. But it was raining, so we left that area. Tully Gorge is Australias wettest are, getting almost three times Bellingens anual rainfall (four metres!!), so it is little wonder that we ran into a bit of wet. Hope you are all well, Jonathon.

Sounds like your having fun. Love to all, J & J x
Higher rainfall than Bello - hard to imagine. I remember being struck by nests (Crow's I think) in the power transmission towers as we headed inland from Townsville. Keep an eye open for crocs.
Love
