2 more days gone in a flash. We took the Kuranda train up the range & came back on the SkyRail. A big day out. Today we have driven further North to Mossman where we are staying on a cane property owned by an old friend of Yvonnes' from Gayndah ( Lynelle ). I have not seen her in 40 years. I hope I am around to see her again in another 40. ( I am a little doubtful ).
