The carroboree was really good and we really enjoyed ourselves. Chris was 'dragged' onto the stage to join the aborigine dancers and he danced more like Elvis Presley but everyone seemed to like it. I recorded him and was laughing so much. The buffet afterwards was really good too.
We really liked Cairns and were reluctant to leave the fabulous hotel.

We then spent the full day travelling further down the east coast of Queensland to a place called Mission Beach, where we spent the night. This was another great hotel. The place was very quiet and the beach was deserted. At this time of year it isn't safe to swim in the sea here due to the dangerous jelly fish.
Mission Beach is where the indigenous aborigines in the area were brought when their land was taken from them. Nowadays it is a tourist attraction with some nice hotels and houses. The aborigines still have huge problems and many still live in settlements.
