We were blessed with a visit from our two children, David and Kate, over the holidays, who were joined by David's fiance, Marisa, and Kate's boyfriend, Dustin. A Christmas eve cyclone that passed just south of us dampened the streets, but not our spirits. We went diving, visited a crocodile farm, spent time with my cousin Danielle and her husband Dave, and toured the rainforests ... Cairns is a great location to see a lot of what Australia has to offer, but it's a HUGE country, and we've only just scratched the surface of this land down under. Here are some pics:
