There is a story behind this lot of photos, Meta asked me to go for a walk along the Tully Head beach which I accepted. We walked all the way from Tully Head beach around to Hull Head and when we got there I talked her into going back into Tully Heads by a road walk, telling her it would be shorter (how would I know) . All I remember is about half way back she started on me "how much longer, you said it was shorter"and thoughs who know my darling wife know I would of got what I probably deserved the rest of the way home, about the last 2 Klms. It shows she was not too hard on me as I am here to continue our journey.

We are on the move again, have changed plans as we have picked up 3 passengers, would you believe 2 women and a dog. The balance is not quiet right but Il'l be fine so they say. We left Cairns this morning and are heading to Tully Heads for a few days. Stopping at a roadside stop for a cuppa then away again arriving at Tully Heads.After some instructions and a little helping hand everything is set up and we are able to have a look around and a walk along the beach. All the trees in the area had been totally stripped by cyclone Yasi and after 18 months you can now see rapid growth, it just looked like a bush fire had gone right through the place. There are still homes that people have left vacant where the water surge about 2 mtrs. high just pushed right through the homes, taking away everything in its path.  















We have had a fabulous day taking the skyrail to Kuranda and back down by the train, hope you have enjoyed the trip with us.

 These photos were taken from between leaving the Borron Falls station to arriving at Kuranda, after a walk through their markets and lunch at the historic Kuranda Hotel it was down to the railway station to catch the old train back down.
