Toad Day Out...

Bob Irwin will join with Cairns Regional Council to protect Cairns’ unique ecosystem at this weekend’s “(Not Just a) Toad Day Out”. The event will provide information about pest species of both animals and plants, combined with children’s activities and a cane toad collection point.

“We will have prizes for the heaviest, live toad brought in and the heaviest
collection of toads but, as the name suggests, we’re concentrating on more than just toads this year,” said council’s coordinator of natural areas management, Russell Wild.

See what excitement we have in the tropics of Cairns? More importantly we have to beat slack arsed rival town Townsville’s count. Shouldn’t be hard. They’re soooo average. Come to Cairns. We’re fun, quirky and hot. What else could you want?

Mad urges…

…I love ‘em. I follow ‘em. A couple of weeks ago I was outside chopping, hacking and slashing in the garden. I was sweaty and hot and bleeding from various cuts to my hands and I thought to myself…“I need a holiday.” I’ve been a bit run down of late – okay, a lot if blood tests are anything to go by – so I’m hauling my fat arse off to Port Douglas, tropical north Queensland, tomorrow in an attempt to relax. Relax? Oh please – there’s four mile beach to walk back and forward, the rainforest of the Daintree to hike, adventure trails to take, intensive shopping…who has time to relax?

In the meantime the blog will not be empty. I have a bunch of talented guests lined up for the week...so check 'em out.
