Got to catch-up with Mom and Bill in Cairns late July/early August 2012. We had a great time exploring northern Queensland from the hills, to the rainforest and out to the reef.

Bill, Jeanette and a Croc
On the Daintree River.
So many whales
Every day we went out on the water we saw multiple pods of whales.
Is that thing real...
I kindly pointed the snake out to Jeanette - once I had my camera ready to catch her expression! Priceless.
Out Sailing
Met a couple guys at the resort bar that were kind enough to offer to take us out sailing for the day - thanks Steve and Tony.
