March 2011: Recovering from cyclone Yasi and the floods. it is so wet that mushrooms are not only growing in the garden but also undernith the timber steps rotting the front stairs, lots of maintenance on the timber walls, overgrown garden....packing up to go to Europe for a few months. Was going to leave early April, had to postpone to undergo unforeseen surgery; the sun came back to shine over North Queensland; I was stuck at home over Easter recovering slowly....the bright side of the story is that I kept out of trouble and scanned old slides - a job I should have done many years ago as they deteriorated quickly in the tropics -
Had a ride on the Gillies -was amazed by the lenght of metal barriers installed all along; could not believe how quickly someone changed the landscape behind my back!!!
Last swim at Lake Eacham before taking off.
