Day 38: Townsville - Cairns
We decided the seats in Henry are unbearably uncomfortable as we drove to Cairns.
It was strange driving up. We have scurried across the outback to make this flight back to the UK for Christmas and we are finally at the end of this part of our adventure.
The landscape is luscious the further north you go. Every few mile there are trailers and tables full of fresh watermelons, mangos, pineapples, bananas and lychees for sale. Despite all this water plumped opulence I had yearned for since the "Day of the Locusts", we agreed we were missing the outback in a strange thirsty way already.
We are arrived late afternoon at Sue and Darren's who are kindly looking after Henry while we are in the UK. They gave us such a warm welcome and really looked after us, we know Henry will be in good hands!
A good nights sleep is in order, it's going to be a long long day tomorrow.

Hello there, eg 'n og. It is so great to be able to leave a comment for you guys. From all your pseudo family here in Oz, we are thinking of you and eagerly await news about your trip back to the UK for Chrissy. Henry is doing just fine. Gwyllum and Neuman sit by him for hours. I think they are all great new chums! Take care. We've got lots of places to take you when you get back to your new home, Oz! Sue B. XX
