We are flying north, yes flying, and while we may not be passing the borders of this vast state it does feel a good start to the New Year. Our destination is Cairns on the eastern border. Currently Tropical storm Seth which was whirling around here is heading south as we head North. In its wake are torrential downpours, king tides and swells. I am a little anxious about this one so let's hope this is not my last post. The rains of the recent weeks has resulted in rivers flooding and their muddy waters spreading into the ocean and the view from my cabin window was impressive. Like cream being poured into blue jelly.
Further out the coral reefs gleaming green and turquoise.
Arriving in Cairns the sun was out and we were hit with a blast of hot and humid air, stifling. Clouds swirled in the sky, threatening, but it was a dry night. People out on the esplanade enjoying the cafes and restaurants and the occasional breeze.
Today we start our cruise - no idea if there will be any connectivity so this might be it or it might not.
