The last two days in Cairns just to show the transition back to New Zealand, I walk past the Wicked Campers Yard and am happy I don’t fit that demographic anymore!
Although even in my flaky youth I wouldn’t have done it this way because I was a backpacker with a huge backpack.
Down on the waterfront I was impressed by this sculpture.
No idea what fruit this is called, its not being eaten by anything so probably not of commercial value.
Brisbane airport shuttle from the Domestic terminal to the international has 100% electric buses, this must be a thing of the future.
Today international flights have wi-fi available on the plane and I was therefore able to post one of my OZ blogs from 30,000 feet, which is quite a feat!
The North Island comes into view...doesn’t it look green.
North towards 90 Mile Beach.
The Auckland Harbour Bridge.
We did a large loop to the south east taking in Rangitoto Island.
Obviously at low tide!
Yup New Zealand comes into touchdown...isn’t that green so peaceful.
While waiting in the queue for Customs, I spotted this notification of New Zealand’s dangerous and exotic pests, somewhat different from where I’ve been.
The very next day I was doing some clowning at our local RDA where Christine volunteers, which brings my OZ blogs to a natural end.
Here is Christine on duty leading the way with the pony rides, a very popular event on the day.
The timed wooden horse event was fun
Gymnastics on a horse, this team came all the way from Golden Bay
A special equestrian trained horse from Motueka did everything but talk.
Here is Spice...it was his job to mark one of the squares to seal the raffle winner...it was number 5.
So that is the end of another successful adventure in Australia, all in Queensland.
We are all set up to continue next year...hopefully we’ll get out of Queensland, but meantime New Zealand is wide open for more adventures.
Many thanks for viewing our OZ blogs.
Till then stay safe, be creative and have fun!
