Saturday, July 16, 2011 con't.

Some pictures in and around our hotel. We

are right along the water, the Coral Sea, where

there is a boardwalk called the Esplanade. It extends along the coastline of Cairns right

into a shopping district and a place they call the Lagoon, a shallow pool for the communit

y with fountains and metal sculptures and picnic areas and playgrounds. It is here they have concerts and events and just general socializing. Here is some of what we saw:

Anyone else see a giant three-toed foot in this mud...or maybe even Mickey?!

We have no idea who these people are but, hey...they looked happy and we thought we should all celebrate with them!

Retail therapy...

Bye for now! Tomorrow is Kuranda and Tjapukai Cultural Park..and who knows what else!
