The Tip of the Journey

We have spent the last two days at beautiful Cape Tribulation, where the Daintree Rainforest meets the beach. This is the most northern point of our Australian adventure. We enjoyed getting up close and personal with a bat (!) and hung out of a boat spotting crocs. Now we are back in Port Douglas and I guess this marks the beginning of our descent. We will spend the next 2 1/2 weeks leapfrogging our way back to the Gold Coast, filling in the gaps of places we missed on the way up, but would still like to see.

Tomorrow Caddies, Carrells, Cramptons and friends will gather in Fairlie to farewell Gordy's Uncle Graham, who was an uncle to us all. He welcomed all arrivals into his family with quiet pleasure and enjoyed nothing better than family gatherings. We are sad not to be there with everybody, but will fill our cups with lemonade and make a toast. And if we are sad, it will be for the things that will never happen again, but not for Uncle Graham who we know had an enviable certainty that he would be with his Mum and Dad now. We are sharing our memories and are grateful for the care Uncle Graham showed us, and for all those who cared for him throughout his life...'Cheers'
