A holiday at home

The last day of the school holidays and it's 32 degrees. The only thing to do is laze by the pool.

Last day at trinity beach

A relaxing hot last day spent between the pool and beach.

Snorkeling at Green Island

Green island is one of the only islands on the reef where u can snorkel straight off the beach. We did this while dad and Jo went out further to a platform located on the outer reef. Amelia was hesitant at first but once she got the hang of it, was keen to go further out. The boys were more adventurous and swam a long way off shore. We all saw turtles, big stripey fish, giant angel fish, a little reef shark and Andrew even spotted a mantra ray. It was a memorable day.

Beach day

We spent a quiet day at our beach - Trinity - on Monday. The weather was perfect and Grampy did a great job of keeping the kids occupied in the water.

Crocodiles and Port Douglas

Sunday we hired cars so we could drive up to Hartley's Creek to see some crocs. It was a great day with lots of animal encounters. Then we drove a bit further up the coast to Port Douglas where we had dinner in a lively tavern. Croc was not on the menu.

Kuranda Skyrail and Train

A stunning journey up the mountain range on the train to kuranda and back over the rainforest canopy on the Skyrail.

Sunrise in Cairns

Waking up this morning to a beautiful sunrise at Trinity Beach. The view from our balcony stretches 180 degrees along the coast.
