The honey eaters and spinebills are busy in the stachyurus, the peewees are working in the mud along the roadside, the whipbirds are calling early, and we're hopping a jet today to take us to Townsville. A hire car will be waiting at the airport to take Lib and I to a motel and we'll drive tomorrow morning to 'Percy Springs' outside Charter's Towers to stay at our friend Dave Dickson's place, a cattle property he caretakes with his new wife Jodie whom we've not met before. Jodie is Canadian and shares Dave's Jehovah Witness faith.
On Wednesday we leave the hire care in Townsville and catch the ferry to Magnetic Is for a week of R+R in the warm tropics.
I had to post before we left and record that August has seen plenty of rain and cold, and the twenty year anniversary of my abstinence from cigarettes. Well done Carey.
Bye for now.
