We’ve worked our way all the way up the coast to the top, Cooktown and then back down to Charters Towers where we are right now. We are staying at a lovely big four with a swimming pool and jumping pillow.

Today we spent the morning relaxing from the busy last few days in the pool and on the pillow. We had a plowman’s lunch and then the parents and son went to see a few sights and I babysat the girls who didn’t want to go. The other three arrived back for a quick afternoon tea and we headed into town to visit a cute little toy shop that made old fashion toys. A lovely Christian lady ran it and she was so kind and gave us a few things free. We also bought a Chinese Checkers set and a harmonica which both Sam and I are determined to learn to play. There were so many cute things, even an old fashion telephone that actually hooked up!

Then it was dinner and a last jump on the jumping pillow in the moonlight!!
