Had a great time in Cairns. Weather was great, fine for 90% of the time. Here are a few night shots of the city. We will soon be in Cooktown for a week. During this stop we will travel down the coast road to Cow Bay just north of the Daintree. We'll camp out of the Nissan on this overnighter. After the week in Cooktown it is "Up the cape" to the tip. We expect to take about three weeks to visit the top end which will include a stay in Sesia with Daniel, Susans son. He's a fishing guide there. More of that as it happens I'll keep you posted from Weipa after we get there in the second week of September.














Johno's Blues Bar. Great stuff happens here let me tell you. If you ever get a chance to get up here and you enjoy The Blues, get along and see this guy. There are always new acts passing through Johno's and some are very famous. The joint jumps 'till about 3 in the morning. We always enjoy a night out here.














The Pier as seen from the esplanade walkway. This shot is about a kilometre from the Pier. At the start of all the sidewalk dining on the strand. We did a three kilometre walk to the Casino and back. Couple of coffees on the way. We also spent a couple of evenings at The Court House. An old court house converted to a club and live music venue. Great swing band the Alley Cats, play here most Sunday afternoons from 5 till 11.







The Central Hotel, still jumping at midnight. I had a tough time getting a shot due to cars and traffic. Fluked one with very few pedestrians of cars.
