The very last day of 'a Year Through the Lens'. A photo taken each day, wherever I have
been. Here in our own backyard of
Cairns, QLD, Victoria, NSW, WA, TAS, China, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Thailand. It has been an adventurous year, and a year
of many challenges. Australia and OS has
many wonderful pockets to see and visit.
Crystal Cascades only 20min from CBD nestled in the foot of the mountains
is a beautiful place to hang out in the heat of the day. Light filtering in through the rainforest as
blue dragonflies and orange butterflies pass through. Thank you for your wonderful support during
the past year, your comments, and likes.
It definitely helped to keep me going and get you something new every
day. Now, it's time for a new project;
so enjoy and big thank you. :)
Fresh day dawns in the tropics. Speckled clouds sit on the horizon. As colours reflect through with rising sun. With new day, brings new adventures. Whatever your adventure is today hope it is a
great one? :)
Cairns water supply comes from Copperlode Dam
located up in the Lamb Ranges just west of the CBD. A long winding road heads from suburbia
through rainforest, breaking out onto the top of the mountain range. It sometimes goes by the name of Lake Morris
too, after city engineer Mr F Morris who was assigned to find a suitable area
for new water supply, for the city in 1935.
Once found and paperwork complete; budget was 3 million, by the time it
was completed in 1976 it had blown out to 6.5million. It is a beautiful place to rest and relax,
after a wee stroll up the hill. :)
Happy Easter everybody, and hope the Easter
bunny was good to you today? For a
change at Easter, the sun is putting on a brilliant show in the tropics. Normally rain comes and plays but this Easter
it has stayed away. The temperature is
beautiful and great time to be outdoors in the wide open spaces. Hello sunshine and tropical Easter it’s nice
to be here.
TGIF, and the start of a four day
weekend. It also means a very holy day
on the Christian calendar. Bare branches
are giving way to new life on the trees outside the church. Set alight by afternoon sun. People sit inside and reflect what Easter
means to them. Whatever your beliefs on
this day; travel safe if taking off, for a four day adventure, treat each other
with kind words, actions, be thankful for loving family and friends that
surround you. Happy Easter everybody.
On the eve of Easter everybody is running
around getting supplies and heading off for four day weekend. Yahoo.
Camping is a very popular pastime of Easter getting away from the hustle
and bustle of the cities, heading out into nature. Recent rain has the waterfalls running and
creeks a little above a trickle. The rain
may still be hanging around the mountains yet hope whatever you have planned
over the break; have fun, travel safe, hope Easter Bunny finds you? :)
