What a difference 3,000 km makes. We left Cairns in good sunshine and arrived in Melbourne to be stuck on the tarmac for 45 minutes because of a lightning strike, not by baggage handlers but by lightning. Once the storm had cleared they let us off. But then the bags did get lost as they started coming out of different shutes. We did get to use the brand new Airbus A321-Neo. It must be a sign of frequent travelling if you can start to recognise the planes you are using. Back at Willie we have fired up our front loading washing machine for the first time. While that was churning, we walked to the supermarket and back including the shopping, in 20 minutes.

Cairns was absolutely packed everywhere you went as it was at all places in the FNQ. Restuarant bookings, accommodation bookings and even bicycle rental needs to be done in advance. The place has fully recovered from any adverse pandemics and more so. Everything is busy but there is still space to do your own thing.
