just back from a wonderful week ion Queensland Australia. We took the train from Brisbane to Cairns, one of Australia's many great train journeys. Onece there we travelled on the Kuranda train up to the rain forst - another signature and impressive journey, we sailed to and snorkled at the Great barrier Reef which was just amazing. Met up with an old nursing flat mate who I have't seen for over 25 years, now living in Cairns and able to show us the many sights that lonely travellors might miss. great time and now back to 97 emails. Such is life.
