The Rhapsody of the Seas sails into the sunset.
Even though it hasn’t rained since November, we do occasionally have clouds. So I figured I’d get a shot of a cruise ship leaving the channel with some clouds in the background.
The Rhapsody of the Seas came and went in one day and, had the mammoth Queen Mary 2 not been here on Saturday, it would’ve been the biggest ship we’d seen here. I guess it’s all about timing. -jp
We arrived in Katherine and didn’t do anything all day but chill out and swim. So here’s another HDR photo of the Devils Marbles for you.
By the way, you can click on almost all of these photos on the front page and it will take you to a Flickr album of most of the photos that appear on this travelogue. When you get to Flickr you can click the photo again and then click on “ALL SIZES” above it and then you’ll see a much larger version of the photo. Even larger than the photos on the Apple galleries that we make. Also the photos on this page usually aren’t in the galleries so this is the only way you’re going to see a bigger one. Typically, it’s worth looking at the bigger version. At least we think so.
Katherine is here. We highly recommend the Big4 campground if you come here.
We went to the Atherton Tablelands, which is southwest of Cairns, inland, for the day. The towns along the way look like they stopped advancing in 1899. Plenty of parks and windy roads and waterfalls. In fact, the shot above is Barron Falls near Kuranda. There was a huge Chinese population in Atherton at one time. There was even a Chinatown. The last standing building is the old temple. -jp
Die Atherton Tablelands sind ein Hochland ca. 50km ins Landesinnere von Cairns. Zu sehen gibt es allerhand Wasserfälle, Seen und süße Dörfer im Stil des 19. Jahrhunderts. -mk
