...I went to Tjabukai. It's an Aborginial Cultural Centre set in the rainforest outside of Carins. It was incredibly interesting. I think the thing that was reinforced to me the most, when listening to stories of the past and the dreamtime, is that every ancient civilization, clan, tribe - call it what you will - have all endured through the ages and every culture has a similar story of struggle and of being overpowered yet keeping their traditions alive. Maybe we should occasionally remember we're not all that different.
Other than that - went walkabout around Cairns and I am now going into flop on a poolside lounger and read - followed by swimming - followed by reading etc...you get the picture. I figure by the time I get back to Brizzie I will be able to pick up every thing I dropped to come here.
Relaxtion? Yes, I totally recommend it every 10 years...though, I have to admit I miss the big city...

The Cultural Centre sounds so interesting. I go to all the archeological centers that I can when on vacation. And you're correct. Humanity is not that different regardless of culture.
Sounds like a perfect day.
Your vacation sounds wonderful. I am very jealous. My vacation the week of the 29th will consist of me sitting at home, maybe mowing the lawn.
Have a wonderful time.
