Australia October 2017 - Mossman Gorge

A trip to Mossman Gorge was planned; this was a drive along the coast road taking in some of the most breathtaking views of the Queensland Coast.   Pauline coped extremely well with the hilly route and we have several photography stops.

The first place we called at was Yorky's Knob - where our niece Karen lives.






An alarming notice warning that crocodiles inhabit this area.
 


We continued our journey - sorry I did not take note of all the names of the places we stopped at - just enjoy the views as I did.















Just one photo of Port Douglas where we stopped for lunch.  There was a little craft market there on the boardwalk and we bought some delicious smelling body scrub.

The very colourful bus that took us up to the gorge and then back down again to pick up our car.

Next - Karunda by train and back by sky rail

The Morris Dancers in Horsham - May 2023

 We should have guessed when we saw some of the Morris Dancers at the Park and Ride bus stop,but we were not prepared for the large number of Morris Dancers gathered outside the Lynd Cross pub in Horsham.    We went in for coffee and watched even more dancers gathering before groups of them dispersed around the town.    Morris dancing is an English folk dance first recorded in 1448.   The dance is based on rhythmic stepping by a group of dancers, often wearing bells on their knees or shoes.  Sticks, Swords, or handkerchiefs are also wielded in tune with the music. This was obviously well organised as the groups of Morris Dancers moved around the town all morning performing their own particular dance.    These are just a few photos I took on my iPhone as we came across them . The drummers were fantastic. More soon --------------------------
