Our life in Tropical North Queensland

After fourteen months living in this beautiful home, we have finally had the sense to move our office - where we spend 12 to 15 hours a day -  from the worst room in the house to what is undoubtedly the best. We had become accustomed to the view of our neighbour’s mouldy retaining wall…

But now we spend our working days with 240 degree views of the mountains, the ocean and the city skyline…

Difficult to believe that we probably still wouldn’t have got around to making the move except that we need the downstairs office for a new business to be announced soon…

Lucky I had the security door closed!!! In the photo it looks big and I can tell you, it is MASSIVE!

We have something new in mind, something we cannot tell you about yet. The “thing” involved another trip the the Atherton Tablelands, which we enjoyed, in spite of the rain. Besides, it was Nico’s first long trip and I’m sure he really enjoyed it, since he was asleep most of the day. Surprisingly, it was even difficult to wake him up for a feed. But he made our day extremely easy. And it was my first time in Steve’s new Mercedes van. What a day!

We visited the Yungaburra markets, which happen the last Saturday of each month. We will have to go back, since by the time we got there they were already closing. They are very good, with lots of homemade and local produce, food stalls, etc. Really worth a visit if you are in the area the right day.

Our next stop was Mungalli Creek Byo-Dynamic Dairy. They produce their own milk, cream, yogurt and cheese and all I can say is that everything we have tried there is absolutely delicious. Even though we can get their products in the supermarket, it is always very interesting and exciting stopping at their farm in the Tablelands. I went for the carrot and ginger cake, Steve tried their fantastic cheese soufle and little Nico decided not to risk it and have his usual. As you can see, he didn’t regret his choice.

And after roaming the roads enjoying the scenery, very green after so much rain, we had to go back home to take care of our digital underwater camera rental business.

We all enjoyed a day out!!!
