Welcome to Cindy and David's 2015 Adventures
Mareeba and Cairns foreshore
On to Mareeba with fond memories of our last trip there. In 2013, we stayed at the Showground so we visited it again to check it out. It was twice as full as they had opened up another huge area. There were hundreds of vans and mobile homes and all looking very pleased with themselves. It is very cheap to stay there and there is plenty of space and it's not far from town.
Below is a shot of a motor bike race taking place around the back of the Showground. Along that road sits a number of race tracks, cars and bikes and we just caught the start of this race which was fun to watch until one of the blokes fell off! It seems he had hurt his ankle and a ute came long and carted him off, to hospital presumably. He was originally one of the leaders so I expect he was very miffed with himself.

Cairns waterfront walk is beautifully done (even better with the tide in - hiding the mud flats!)
This is where all the back packers hang out of course. A magnificent pool, lovely lawns, shade trees and a local cafe. What more is there to want?
