Larry here,,We went on a train trip today much to Beth's delight. It's the Karunda railway which climbs up into the mountains and rain forest. It climbs 1000 feet inabout 30 k. All built by hand in the1920's, 15 or so tunnels,they moved 2.8 million cubic meters of stuff by hand. Once at Karunda we visited the village, very nice and also bird world, much to Beth's delight. The trip back was by glass floored aerial tramway. Impressive it was three legs totalling 7.5k over the rainforest canopy. Beth even saw a great big snake way up in a tree. Still very warm here, even the cheese melts outside. Record for heat waves was in the 1920's some town was 160 consecutive with highs over 100 degrees f, even Bev might have find that a bit much. Our sliding door is single glaze glass and is always coverd in condensation on the outside. Tomorrow we're going swimming in the ocean (there's a big net around the beach) and the day after it's off to swim with the sharks. Great one bedroom apartment here, we do all our own cooking, we'll dine out more in Sydney. Other than that
"la vie est belle en Australie" What a great country. The tourist infrastructure is superb. PS No pics until we find free wifi, there's no way I'm paying for Wifi.. Larry
