Tropical North Queensland

Jenny and I have just returned from a trip to "Tropical North Queensland". We spent a few days diving on the Great Barrier Reef near Cairns. I used a couple of rolls of film underwater and will post some of the better photographs up in a few days.


After a little difficulty regaining our land-legs, we hiked through to Daintree rainforest. Frequent swims in the cool streams were vital!


Palm trees, cane toads and crocodiles are abundant in the far north. I will spare you a shot of the cane toads for now...


We spotted a wild croc - just a little fella' - on a boat cruise on the Daintree River.


Of course, at the crocodile farm, we saw hundreds of them. There was plenty of death-rolling and snapping at scraps. After watching the "croc-show", it is difficult not to have some affection for the crocs.
