SHE
SAID:
OMG,
did we somehow leave tropical far north Queensland overnight.... It
was a chilly 15C this morning. I was dressed in a winter dressing
gown & ugg boots to make breakfast...WTAF!
I
warmed up somewhat walking Bruce up Old Tully Road, & then
walking myself around Lacey Creek. It's a walk that I have wanted to
do for a while. It was a glorious sunny day (meaning there was no
cloud cover overnight, making it so chilly this morning).
Heading
back I visited the original site of the “Mission” at South
Mission Beach. The information board there informed me that there was
never a religious mission there, & that it was basically a
“dumping ground” for the Aborigines of the area. To get them out
of the way! When a cyclone destroyed the mission 4 years later the
Aborigines were again forcibly removed to Palm Island!
As
I got to Old Tully Road I could see plumes of smoke, & found that
one of the recently cut cane fields was having the stubble burnt on
it. I am hoping to see the fields on fire at night. I think it would
make for some good photos.

Another quiet day of rest. The pain is reducing, which I am very happy about!
