Thursday...12 July 2012

It rained a couple of nights ago and I was thinking that's right, I just gave the place a big plug for being wonderful and now it has turned to wet and soggy. To be fair, it rained for a couple of hours and boy did it come down, but then out came the sun and dried up all the rain .....(and insy winsy spider climbed up the spout again)!!!.........Well at least we got the sun back.

Today was simply glorious. As I write this it is 29C outside and the sun is shining very brightly.

This afternoon we went to a place called Coffee Works. Lots of coffee, tea and chocolate with unlimited sampling of all three. They even gave us a  free pass when we ran out of time to see every thing before closing so that we can come back another day to finish looking. There is also a very comprehensive coffee museum full of coffee machines and coffee and tea pots from all over the world.

This coming weekend is the annual Mareeba Rodeo and seems to be a big one. The build up is enormous and it starts tomorrow night (Friday) with a street parade down the main street. Every pub and club is advertising live music all weekend and there is a show and sideshow alley attached to the rodeo. 

Time to find his big buckle belt and akubra!  Bring it on, we are ready.
