Cairns
Well it has been a while since I posted anything on this site. The reason (excuse) is that I spend the last 4 days on a boat.
I arrived in Cairns 2 days after cyclone "Larry" hit the coast of northern Queensland. To be honest, in Cairns, apart from some branches on the roads and the rainy weather there was very little evidence that a very strong cyclone had hit so close by.
In Innesfail which is about 90km from here the damage was much worse: 50% of the buildings were heavily damaged.
Anyway I have been taking a dive course here in Cairns. I finished my PADI open water and advanced open water course on a ship near the Norman and Saxon reefs. Absolutely unique experience with the beautiful corals, the varied fishes and the night dives between the reef sharks.
I will post some pictures later on.
