Drizzly day improved by discovery of bananas at CRAZY (but not quite pre-cyclone) prices of $7.99/kilo at local markets.

Tom swimming by himself for the first time - well, with some assistance from his Thomas the Tank Engine vest. A few Queenslanders saw us in the pool and must have assumed it was warmer, not realising we were crazy Victorians (boy were they surprised when they hopped in!). Lucky start to the day with Finn deposited on by a (seemingly big) bird. Day book-ended with luck when a gecko dropped one in our sausages from the roof of the camp kitchen.

It can be a bit dangerous this far north, as the palm trees actually have coconuts on them. This one however was no match for us...

Arrived Airlie Beach. Rain delaying tent assembly, so have dropped into local tavern for a look...
