    This is a dream destination for a birder. I would love to visit Queensland but I doubt that I ever will!

    Looks a bit like Tampa. Except don't you have some hills down that way? Flat as a pancake here.

      Mostly hills and mountains in the Cairns area, only flatter by the sea.

      Certainly is a big country when you consider all of Europe and a bit more will fit within Australia.
      Thanks.

      Always a bit humid in the tropics, for us seeing as where we come from.

    Love the big leaves on plant. Reminds me I should be drinking ice tea. Instead of hot chocolate like here in Idaho.
    Coffee is on

    I love tropical rain forests, the lush greenery, the brilliant splash of an occasional flower. So beautiful. Heaven for me would be a house on a cliff with a rain forest behind and an ocean in front.

      Always love to see the green trees...and in all areas of Australia they are different, different versions/species.

    Wonderful photos, Margaret, both on this post and your previous post. And the tree ferns are stunning...I love tree ferns. We had a three of them around our house when my ex and I lived at Sunshine Beach.

    I hope 2017 fulfills all your dreams. :)

      I bet those tree ferns looked lovely, they do span out a fair bit.
      Thanks, not sure what the 'dreams' are for 2017 as yet.

    It is interesting that Tasmania and Cairns are miles apart yet there are similarities in their flora.
