rain, nice but

---

Thur.13. Rainy day good for reflexion. Where do we go from here? Road running out without four wheels. Daintree beckons, flooded roadways. I've got a good book but. Cooktown. Cape Tribulation. What wonders await?
Fri. 14. 1600 stickers arrive from Perth. Now I'm broke. I was down to 120. Multi-media hit having impact. Overcast - no rain. 'The process of getting a new flag will show our wonderful democracy. Everyone will enjot that.'
Sat. 15. yellow breasted honeyeater, Ulysses butterflies. Cloudy clearing.
Sun. 16. Rapture of some sort. Interview with re:port. Rainy Sunday market. Stallholders good. Raptors of some sort. Humans living on catamarans in the river. Raw words called police force. They were nice but. Couple from Ballarat. Keep the flag. His Cooktown joke - 'Seal the road, no, we couldn't see anybody coming' ( the dust). Evening salsa scene in Port Douglas. Here a week, 167 restaurants. Boat to any reef. Vast tracts of mangrove. Cloud shrouded hills beckon. Cape Tribulation story of deluge. Dropped off and out of range. Desperation. Wet.
