This afternoon we went to the James Cook Museum which is housed in an original Sisters of the Mission Convent. The building was in a derelict condition before being renovated and reopened by Queen Elizabeth as a museum. It is well worth a visit and we spent a couple of hours there.

Have just shown Mum you tube of the telegraph track. She said being adventurous is one thing but that looks plain stupid! I think she thought you were off for a gentle trip around Australia. She said good luck.
ReplyDeleteWe are looking forward to photos and video.
I think it is ok to wake up to kangaroos, I think it is the snakes and crocs I would be worried about.
Looking forward to cathcing up when you get back into a reception area.
Have fun. Pete, I know this is one of the highlights of your trip planning, enjoy.
