The tropical torpor that descends on one after lunch is stultifying to say the least.
A few tunes whiled away the heated afternoon, with both of us (ok it was really just me) looking forward to putting on the new TV at 7 p.m. (Photography: Mum)
Late afternoon saw us at the Tanks (Tank 5 to be precise) to see a Mental Health Week art exhibition - good stuff.
Then followed the "Red Arrow Walk" up through the Botanic Gardens precinct onto a many stepped climb. Mum paced me for the first few hundred metres then I was on my own.
A pleasant outlook over the mangroves could not compare to Townsville's Castle Hill.
I'm not bashing Cairns, but just look at this view from Castle Hill:
The Red Arrow Walk was a tough climb for an old couch potato I can tell you.
I had earned a cold shower and it was the best thing ever!
Where is castle Hill? Looks like an extract from Shrek or other Hollywood dream world.
ReplyDeleteTell Mum TV is not often good. She needs a short list of fave programs.

A careful reading of the text around the said shrek piccy will reveal the word "Townsville". TV advice noted and passed on.
