View of Coast from Daintree RainforestAs I mentioned in the previous blog, Sandy & Joe Bill visited an Aboriginal Cultural park yesterday. From all accounts they had an interesting morning and were amazed to compare similarities between the Australian Aborigines' history and that of the American Indians. Joe Bill showed the Aboriginals a few nifty steps they could add to their traditional corroboree dance, and both Sandy & Joe Bill learnt the skills involved in throwing a boomerang and having it return to them. Enjoy these photos of their cultural experience plus those of our travels further north into the rainforest.
Sadly, while we were enjoying the beauty and cool dampness of the rainforest yesterday, Australia experienced its worst ever bush fire tragedy with 108 confirmed deaths and over 750 homes destroyed in towns north of Melbourne in the state of Victoria. Meanwhile, record floods have been occuring in a major city 3 hours south of us here in Cairns.
Have been following your adventures closely since I returned home. It all seems to be going well and I am sure your visitors are having a wonderful time. Such a vast range of experiences - flood and fire and famine and crodiles! I expect they will love Sydney. Where are you staying??
