Back to Cairns, back to school.

Cairns -I am working here at a local school, Woree Primary, -Back at Jame's place, the real estate had the coconut palm cut down, sad because I would of eatin the coconuts, but I guess it was a hazard. James saved me a few and a section from the heart of the coconut palm, taste OK, not much flavor, very crisp, like cabbage texture.

Fejoa's, very rare in oz but this is north Queensland.  took a bag to all the kiwis at Matt's baby shower.
 

I went and saw my friends at Rusty's Market food is so good. New season mangoes, avocados, this stuff seems to be new season all year round. You can get a free lunch at Rusty's just from trying all the samples, and you can ask for a sample if there are none on offer.

Up at dawn on Anzac day 25/April 2016 and herd the bugle playing in the distance. Was a very nice quiet morning. Went down to the esplanade to catch the parade later on. Brings back memories of going to Anzac Day in New Zealand with my Family and grandparents.   My Poppa went to WW11.

Back to work Tuesday. Back to school  LOL. We are putting all new Air cons at Woree School. Going good so far, and looks like a big job. Was weird 'first day back at school'.

Found two native bee hives in the wall where we were working, they found a crack and moved into the cavity. Pity it's a block wall, can't get the honey out.

The market grower must of picked the veges in the dark this morning, got the colour wrong, orange beetroot & purple carrots.

Got 5 litres of ginger beer brewing using fresh ingredients, and avocado honey, apparently you squeeze the Avos real hard then put it in a centrifuge, just kidding, they just chuck the hives in the Avocado orchard. Nice honey.

Advocardo chocolate is awesome.
2avos
1/4 c cacao
1/4 c honey
Half cup cream.
Forgot the vanilla

Very chocolaty and a bit sweet.

Down to Townsville for Matt's boys baby shower and birthday party, Aaron  coming up from Melbourne ,will be there too. Was a good weekend, haven't seen much of these guys since I left school. That's a while back now. 

Back to work at the school, another classroom. Now the boss rings and wants James to come and  help us, and Jame's and I are off to Bamaga in a week, go finish the job I started in December. Another plane flight and working holiday. and paid for doing it. And I've got my fishing mate James, should be a good trip. 

Heart of coconut palm. Quite nice.

Watching the moonrise from my hammock. 

The old Bhole river camp. 

Nice and green not brown and dusty like wen we where here last year. 

The magnificent tamarind tree I camped under for a month or so. Makes a good cuppa tea.
