Before we discuss Cairns, I have to tell you about the Lorikeets and our last 2 days in Surfers. The day before we left we did a load of laundry and hung it on the drying rack, which was placed in the living room under the ceiling fan, so it would dry. We left the window and the Balcony door open a bit. Then we went off to town for the day. Just as we got to town it started to pour and it pour... Read Full Entry

Hello
Ron & Pam, Great pictures, great story. Looks and sounds like great experience. Everything here the same. Buzy, etc. School is going well, Jenna and Steven are fine. Take care and continue to enjoy your fabulous journey. I'm looking forward to seeing the Stones at halftime tomorrow. Probably play 3 songs. Wonder what the choices will be. Jim

Hi, Pam, Our mutual friend, Jody, gave me your site, as we are both travelers, though you are farther from home! Your pictures are gorgeous and I'm going to go back to the beginning to read everything. You've been so many places my down under friends tell me about! Thanks!

Rainbow Lorikeets
Hi. Loved your photos and descriptions of the Lorikeets. Lulu (ball & chain) & myself, are located in the areas of Cape Town, Pretoria and Durban, South Africa, depending on business, the weather and broadband availability. One of our children goes by the technical description of a Chatering Lory but he is really just a little person with red and green feathers. Highly intelligent, has a vocab of about 150 words and phrases, at 11 months, and is now starting to put together his own sentences from the phrases which he overheard. Incredible memory, better than any human, and there are none of us that can copy his range of sounds. He has great fun, starting with simple sounds which we have to imitate and going progressively more difficult untill he loses us and we cannot compete any more. He also poops, a lot. We had great fun with your comments on the rainbow lorikeets and, allthough we have not had any contact with them, would expect them to be very bright also. It might be interesting to let them have their way, get a bit closer to them as individuals, and control the poop area. Thanks for your interesting articles, keep up the good work and, when you are in South Africa, if ever, let us know and we'll introduce you to some SA hospitality. Regards. Jonn & Lulu.
