Cairns

The next few days we spent catching up on school work while Bryce and Heath went back to school.
We also spent time with Grandad and Grandma and swimming in the pool at the caravan park.

In the afternoon Mars took the boys to a local swimming hole where they had a lot of fun.

The following day we spent the morning doing some more school work followed by a swim in the pool. 

In the evening we had dinner with Dean and Kate Visser and their family and enjoyed getting to know them and sharing tips as they planned to travel / move back to WA.

On our way back home we saw a big olive snack slithering off the road, which was cool.

On Thursday, after we dropped Bryce and Heath off at school, we drove up to Kuranda and met Grandad and Grandma there. 

We spent an enjoyable morning there browsing the shops and eating different food. After lunch we made our way back into Cairns via Barron Falls. It had minimal water flowing.

In the evening we had dinner with Sjaak and Cheree in their beautiful home. As Chad wrote in his diary 'It was a drama at first then it was alright.' We had barely walked in the door and the dogs barked scaring Rowan. Mars walked back out to take a phone call and then the dog started to chase Brenton who ran into the glass sliding door. As the kids went outside the dog chased Rowan who ran straight into the pool fence!

Egg heads and bruised egos aside, we had a very enjoyable night, the kids had a swim in the pool too!
