Australia October 2017 - Sky Rail from Kuranda

I have a fear of heights - from the time I went on a school trip to the monument where the Great Fire of London started.  Before that, I was not aware of a fear of heights when I think back to some of the things I did as a child.  However, the Sky Rail was booked,so there was no option really - I had to go on it.

I did actually quite enjoy it, although at one point I was facing backwards in one of the 'cars' and felt a bit nauseous.  The young man sitting opposite very kindly offered to change places with me, and I was so grateful.
Our carriage awaits



This is the river we walked along briefly where we saw the passenger boat




We got off the 'car' here and went to the viewing point to see this waterfall














Going down


Almost down

 Next - last night in Cairns

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 --------------------------
