A horse float and quad bike came in to the grounds and they headed off and got some cattle into the yards. I went and asked if they were going to do much today but they said that they were just going to do some work with the cattle in the small yards. So we packed lunch and headed to the Crystal Cascades near Cairns. It is just fantastic driving through rain forest. The driveways look a little scary though. Very steep and narrow up into the rain forest. As we were driving into the car park there was a sign and Josiah read it out so we would make sure we knew what to do. "Suck all vehicles!" . Then he repeated it a couple of time realising that that sounded a little weird. Then we all asked him to repeat it and asked him where he saw this sign. Then after a lot of laughing we said, it said "Secure all vehicles". I then told everyone that I didn't want them sucking all vehicles just in case Manning thought that was a good idea.
This man is wanted for entering the wrong toilet and refusing to tell police his correct name. He used the code name Betty but we were wiser. The paparazzi were all over it, waiting at the toilet door to catch the illegal user! He was soon captured and made to walk 1.2km along a river in the rain forest!
The ladies toilets were the only ones that were working and most of the kids were happy to use that one but Baylee thought it just wouldn't be right. It took a lot to convince him that it was okay and it would just be like at home where we all have to use the same toilet!
It was very pretty and I loved looking up into the big trees and all the ferns. It actually spat with rain. It is the first time we have had rain since Port Hedland. I haven't missed it. The water was cold so we didn't swim. I think we were a bit spoilt with the warmth up Darwin way. The kids still climbed all over the rocks and it is a real adventure through the forest.

When we got back to the caravan Robin and Glenda Evans had rocked up with their caravan. Again amazing that we are in the same area as they at the same time. They are from Cleve so it was great to catch up with them and swap holiday stories. They had some friends travelling with them. Ian and Helen Burton. We found out that Helen is an Auntie to my cousins wife. This is just funny. It was great getting to know them and look forward to seeing them another time back home. We did a lot of laughing and it was a nice time. Manning quickly took to Glenda and had her reading him some books. He also took a liking to Helen as she had chocolate!
