If I'm going to keep up with my busy Cairns life, I'll have to eschew finely-crafted words and travel the easy way with photos and captions to give you a taste of the tropics.

I’m honoured by your attention – and looking forward to seeing your New Zealand, a place I’ve never been. Plans were made, but I went to Egypt instead, drawn by a daughter who was living in Cairo and whom I hadn’t seen for a few years.

It looks like a luxury spot. I am impressed with those fish and palm sculptures and the one that is inspired with sea anemone. Beautiful views and captures, Meg.

I love Cairns, against all expectations. Even the steamy heat doesn’t bother me, although it exhausts me.

Now you see that is what humidity does to me and why I struggled in Sydney!

A taste of the tropics sounds good to me, Meg. I’d want to stay on the waterfront, of course 🙂 (no doubt expensively) Love the fish and the stories.

Plenty of waterfront a short bus-ride away! I like the seclusion.

It looks gorgeous Meg, thank you for sharing the sculpture and most of all the cassowary story 🙂

There were a lot more stories on posts, but they circled the post and they were hard to photograph whole.

Cairns looks different through your eyes Meg. I think it is time I visited it again. 5 years since we were there.

That’s what I like about blogging – I always see things very differently through your eyes, and through Jude’s when she was visiting. It’s good to visit strange places, but also to see familiar places with a stranger’s eye.

I can’t even look at your photos. Suspect I have some unresolved issues.

I didn’t realise Cairns was so close to your heart. Do I apologise for being here?

You definitely have your eye out for the unusual – love the sculptures and the stories – don’t love the high rises 😦

There’s been a stop to development. The wooded hills behind my cabin are safe.
