Again came the cane

We left Townsville yesterday and went up to Ingham. Here the wet tropics begin and the sugar cane, which we saw so much of in the Burdekin, returns. And this time I get to stay on a farm - a great experience for a city kid like myself.

In Townsville we saw kangaroos and koalas, here we ran in to the big and beautiful - well, at least colorful - cassawarys. And some wallabys (the younger 'brother' of the kangaroo) was to be seen outside town as well.

And I thought I'd seen some astonishing waterfalls when we were at Litchfield Park two weeks ago. I stand corrected. Wallaman falls was really something special.

Suger cane farm, suger mill, sugar bulk terminal - soon I believe that what I haven't learnt about the sugar industry isn't worth learning. Anyway, it's been really interesting.

We attended a Rotary meeting this evening as well, and did the usual presentation of Sweden. Now we've done it so many times we're getting tired of our own jokes. We'll have to think of new ones for tomorrow, when we will have moved on to the next town.
