G’day Kangaroo! Monday 26th January 2009

Its Australia Day, its Chinese New Year and best of all it’s the day we saw kangaroos! Last night we had a raging thunderstorm and left washed out Mission Beach early at 7.15 a.m. to drive north back to Cairns. Just five minutes after we left the campsite, we saw about thirty kangaroos grazing in a field near the roadside. Some were a bit camera shy and bounded away, but others just eyed us inquisitively and then carried on with their breakfast. What a great start to our last day in Queensland. We are now in Cairns and it is hotter than ever with the humidity at its highest. Tomorrow we’re off to Darwin where it is hotter! Right now its time to have a swim and then later head to O’Brien’s bar for a $5 steak and chips.
