Cairns

As you already know, Peter's plate needed further repairs and or modification, so back to Cairns to the same dental clinic; a day early, due the severe wind and coldebess at Lake Tinaroo. A large passenger liner, The Sea Princess was berthed at the wharf, so parking and driving around town was fraught that first day!
Phoned the clinic and again given the appointment time of our preference and job completed in one day! Amazing given how long it takes to get an appointment back home.
We stayed at the NRMA caravan park, which gives discounts to NRMA members. It's very close to the centre of town. We spent the day searching for items only found in large towns or cities. That night we dined out in the night market area. It was fun! Cairns has an amazing new aquatic park built on the foreshore just in front of the night market area. It is not eclosed by fences and is free to everyone. Water equipment for children and fun games structures are also here. A great place for young families, where everyone can cool off after a humid and hot day.
Friends Robin and Geoff have bought a house in Palm Cove and it is in the process of being remodelled, so we took a drive to Palm Cove to check it out!
It will be very beautiful with spacious living and guest quarters when finished and has a large swimming pool.
As the inland was now so hot and dry, we decided that we would explore the north Queensland coastal area. We have never done this before. And we would take our time doing it!
