Day 162- 175 Cairns

The weather turned and it blew and blew from the SE for many days. The anchorage was not particularly good in the river and we ended up a long way from where we could tie up the dinghy.

We made the most of our time here by participating in water aerobics, free movies Tuesdays at the Casino (first movie Fools Gold was great but the second The Invasion was hopeless), went to the real movies to see Eagle Eye, the Art Gallery and time at the wonderful lagoon at Cairns.

So we swam and walked (the dogs loved the Esplanade) and in the afternoons participated in many happy hours and BBQs on the foreshores.

We spent time with Easy Rider (Terry and Kim) as well as Doug and Kirsten who met at Lizard but more of them at a later time. Here are some happy snaps from some happy hours.

We also watched many large ships entering and leaving the harbour. Here are some shots.
