Tree Kangaroo's

We are up early I seem to have gotten over my faze of sleeping in and after a shower its off to the Garage sale at the Bowling club. It’s a fizzer so we drive out to Tinnaroo Dam a big dam with heaps of camping. Its bloody windy there and not nice on the water. It seems to have been quite windy here since we arrived. Next stop is the Curtain Fig tree a most amazing tree and nothing like I have ever seen. After we go to Milanda Falls which are not all that impressive but they have Tree Kangaroo’s there so we do the Rain Forest walk.

There is always lots of noises in the bush in NQ with bush Turkey’s everywhere. But this was a different sound so we moved on quietly, then a baby Tree Kangaroo climbed up a small tree about 1m off the ground. Then most likely its mum climbed up behind it and they both sat there for minutes while we watched them. It was so cool to see these in the wild and although we were not gamed to move in close enough to get better pictures we had a great view of them in the habitat.
Another last arvo watching V8’s while Tina reads. We walk down to the pub a steep hill 2km down and have tea for my Birthday which is tomorrow. Then on with the
Footy as the reception in the Cabin is crap on 10. The Crows are off to flyer but after dominating the first ½ weren’t able to put Collingwood away. I was real worried and predicted a Collingwood victory, and although they only just won it was so obvious that the same old problem that has haunted the crows all their history is no big gun to kick the winning goals. It was most disappointing anytime Collingwood win. It’s a brisk walk up the hill to the cabin just in time to see the final overs of the Aussies bowl to the Poms. Binga Lee cleans up and the boys have little trouble knocking off the 220 and lead the series 4 -0. If only they played like this in the tests.
We awake and I have a bit of a sore head, too many beers and not enough sleep. Tina gives me a bracelet & a jar of Tomato relish for my Birthday and I get a call form the kids. After we managed to get all our stuff back in the Tojo we are off. A quick stop at the Karia Sunday markets and then on to Ravenshoe, which is in a huge mountain range and claims to be the highest town in QLD. We are staying at a rest stop tonight and off to Innot hot springs in the morning. There are markets here too but mostly closing by the time we arrived.
