The Festival Cairns is a two week long event that involves various activities and entertainment, like fireworks, a parade, movies, bands, shows, and art displays. Danny and I made it to opening night for the parade and fireworks, but unfortunately missed the fireworks because we were eating dinner. The parade was fun, with a lot of different ethnic groups represented, some bands and floats. The art on display on the esplanade was interesting.
It is spring here now, and the weather is warming up! The temperature highs are usually from 85 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. On the right hand side of the blog, there is a weather display. If you type "Cairns" into the search area, you can choose "Cairns, Australia" to see what our weather is! It is mostly sunny, I would say in the past month it has rained about 2 times. We have been going to the beach every weekend, except for last weekend, when we went up to the Tablelands. That is for another post.
I am now volunteering at the Cairns Tropical Zoo one day a week in the reptile department. I help clean out snake enclosures of the non venomous species, feed lizards and frogs, and hose leaves out of crocodile pens, of course from a safe distance! I plan on taking some pictures while I am there, and will get some up here soon.
