We woke up early this morning due to lots of movement in the camp as multiple vans packed up and moved on - maybe due to all the rain that's forecast over the next few days!! We lay in bed reading and by the time we got up for breakfast the skies had cleared a bit. We decided to head in to Mossman this morning and work from the Library so that we could all keep dry. It had a perfect set up for us with a couple of tables hidden in a corner and the kids got st...

Anna and Jonny woke up at the crack of dawn and went off to play on the beach. Matty and Katharine soon joined them and Nick and I drifted in and out of sleep until 830 am!! We eventually got up and had coffee outside but the skies were grey and it soon started to rain. We had breakfast and then spent the morning hitting the schoolbooks. Nick took the girls to an enormous undercover area with ten large tables in it and plenty of chairs but got kicked out, a...

Nick and I had slept through everything!! ...

We had a very long drawn out breakfast with the last order given at 10am and then we closed the kitchen and headed into the CBD. We parked in North Cairns and walked along the esplanade while the kids rode their scooters. After an hour or so we returned to the car, grabb...
