Mount Surprise-ing news!

Mount Surprise was our last inland night.  We dined al fresco and I tried for star pics ...

We woke to excellent news.  Nick checked his emails.  He had entered three songs in the Australian Songwriting Competition - and each of those had been short-listed!

It was a great start to the morning - and our 7th week of holidays!  Our plan for the remaining time was to make our way Southward via the coast roads.

There was so much green!  It was quite stunning after so many weeks of being away from the coast.  Traffic was another shock - hah!

We had a small site in a busy caravan park at Cairns.  Our communication and patience were tested - cos manoeuvring into the tight space was tricky.

  

Mr Dog was so very pleased to have real grass underfoot! He had a dip in the little creek that ran through the caravan park - and had lots of fun in the nearby off-leash dog park afterward with 10-15 new friends. 

He was a super happy, albeit worn-out, hound at the end of the day!
