Photographing my travels: Australia, Townsville rest of the week

The next day was my birthday which I had forgotten in the excitement of the previous day. We all went for Sunday brunch to continue the wedding feast. Lisa and family kindly presented me with some lovely flowers. In the afternoon, Anna treated me to a kayak trip down the Ross River with Ady and Jose. I was too scared about getting my camera wet so no images of that.

On Monday we went off to Magnetic Island for the day, together with the bride, groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen and women. We left the wedding party to do their own thing but met up with them at coffee and lunch and back on the ferry.

The Cairns birdwing is a regular visitor in Jose and Ady's garden. These are a couple of about 20 cocoons. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to snap the adult.

I don't know who the woman is but I am glad she entered into my image. I had to smooth out the beach in front.

A walk on the Strand with Ady and Blue and her friend Mary with Boss. They meet up with lots of friends for a chat

In the afternoon we paid a visit to Crystal Creek and bathed at the Paradise Water hole

Another walk with Mary and Boss on Wednesday. This time at an earlier time on the outstanding new development of Jezzine Barracks. A lot of money and thought went into this and it is truly a crowning glory. It is still unfinished and I look forward to coming back for more photos.
