Cairns Xmas

---

Happy xmas everyone
Well, here we are in Cairns having spent the last week in Tazzie. Cherry and me have practically done the whole tour of Taz from Port arthur in the South to Cradle mountain in the North. We have seen some wonderful things, stayed in places called Mole creek and Wilderness hotel, let me tell you that these places were in the middle of nowhere. Approx 60% of Tazzie is under forest so when your driving, you see lots of trees, although we saw loads of Wallabys, Tazzie devils ,Wombats and Ekidnas. Staying in Cairns is really hot with average temperatures at 31degrees. We had a really great christmas day, the dinner in the hotel was brilliant and included a band, santa and all free drinks, after that we went down the poolfor a swim.
Send some pictures with our next blog so until then, thank you all for your info from home, its greatly recieved and we both look forward to it

All our love

Cherry and me

Seasons Greetings.
Your mention of Cairns brought back happy memories of when Jack and I visited there in 2003. We hired bikes to get round the resort. Have you been to the Great Barrieer reef yet and to Port Douglas and Karunda the aboriginee village? Everyone OK at this end just having a chill out day after yesterday. I will wish you a happy new year now as we are away to the The Yorkshire Dales on Friday for a week so will conract you on our return. Love and best wishes, Maureen Jim and Jack.xxxx

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us. We are having a lovely time here at home. Glad to hear you are too. It all sounds fantastic. Our first Christmas with Josh - he has been an absolute star. Not much news around here. Have started riding my bike again in readiness for skiing. I hope it works as well as it did last year!!! Love to all.

Hi Dad/cherry. My god, it sounds like you had a fabulous christmas! Chilling by the pool on christmas day, lush! Bev says hi, she is starting to get a little bit of a bump now, she keeps doing stuff like shopping and says the baby is telling her to do it!! Lol. It was really nice of you to phone on christmas day, it really made my christmas! We are going out with linda and russell tonite to there local club, that should be good. then to a house party after, depending if bev feels up to it. The spare room is slowly turning into a nursery, should be nice when it is finished. I would love to have seen the wildlife around the barrier reef, the fish I saw in egypt were stunning, but I bet it wasnt a patch on your trip! Dont forget to keep up with your blogs, and I will email you soon. We both cant wait to see you when you get home. Love to you both, have fun!
