Cairns day 4

Into the city to the markets on the front street which weren’t as big as last year. Di bought a couple of things. Had a small look around and then out to Trinity Beach where we stayed last year and on the way back to the park went up to the Barron Falls.

Watched the Crows get done by Hawthorn along with some other South Aussies.

Went back to the city for tea and went to the movies and saw the new Bourne movie, pretty good. Tea was at the night markets where we had all you can get on plate seafood, you can get a lot more if you eat as you go along the line!

The Cairns races were on over the last two days so it was interesting to see the mix of people in the street. There were a lot of young flappers all dressed up in their very best with cocktail dresses and fancy hats and then the tourists getting around in thongs and t-shirts.
