Thursday...26 August

Moving day today. We packed the van and moved it to the back area of the Mareeba park and gave it a bit of a wash. Very hot and sweaty so Keith went off to take a shower before we actually hit the road. When he came back he was minus his wedding ring! We looked but no idea if it came off in the shower and went down the plughole or if it came off while he was brooming the caravan with a hose, or maybe even when we were actually packing up our little campsite. We searched all places with no result. We spoke to the owners and left our address on the slim chance it finds its way into their lost property box. On a positive note it means he has lost some weight. Shame it was the ring that fell off, could have been his britches I suppose........lol
Then we somehow took the wrong road when leaving and ended up in Herberton by accident which sort of turned out to be a blessing as the road was less steep than the main road we missed. Eventually made it through to Innisfail, couple of steep mountains but beautiful roads on them with good gradients and very few tight turns and I enjoyed the drive.
We have booked a tour of a sugar mill in Tully tomorrow and will check out Paronella Park on the way back.
Fingers crossed for both events as it is raining right now and seems to have set in for the night.  24 degrees with 73% humidity. Time and weather permitting we plan to visit with the senior Mellors on Saturday prior to departure.
