Cairns, the vicinity, and the long way home...

Killer Strangler Fig Tree

Beach in Cairns.  Crocs.  Yawn.

Katie passed out from the heat and totally missed Muddy's!!!

This is how you pronounce "Cairns".  Great art work!

Most relaxing afternoon of the whole trip.  Swimming in a protected, man-made lagoon in Cairs with Katie-Pants.  :)

On the Kuranda Skyrail

Darren is alive and well and mining Opal in Australia!

Sniff!  A tribute to Steve Irwin at the Venom Zoo.

Mom, stop with the crocodiles and snakes and shit!

Are you sure these aren't poisonous?

Kuranda rail.  An engineering feat.

Beer, Tylenol, Chicken and Broccoli.

Spot the Mud Skipper!!!!

Going HOME!

Bye Cairns!  Bye Cans!

Thank you, Elmo!

We paid $2000 for me to sit on the floor!

Impromptu visit during a re-routing through Toronto and a delay.  Thanks, Air Canada!

Australian apples in the wrong hands!  See what happens when quarantine isn't followed?
