 | Here is a feast of news from Coquette Point as we catch up the last five weeks.... Mar 3 2012 Hello from sunny Coquette Point, Another week and still no monsoon. However, we have been having more than enough rain from all sorts of other systems. We can do without the monsoon and its cyclones. My dear friends Santina Lizzio and Jacque Grima came over for a cuppa this week and we went down to the river looking for crocodiles: what else would a few old girls do on a sunny afternoon. All our chattering disturbed Charlene but Jackie and Santina had fun comparing their shoe sizes with Charlene’s footprints. Charlene’s shadow was someway in the water off the beach. |
 Hi all,
This week Ian Penberthy has gone to that great ‘recycle bin’ in the sky. Ian died in his beloved Innisfail of a heart attack on Wednesday. Ian’s life was a celebration of the natural world. He is best known for his Camel Tours, particularly with Sinai Guides, however his work with MATE, Man and the Environment, best explains Ian’s philosophy in life. Thank you Ian you were an example to all of us on how we can live a simple life and be content. Cloud cover this afternoon brought a welcome relief to the oppressive heat. January without rain is certainly unusual and even more remarkable is the twinkling, turquoise Johnstone River and clear blue sky. The river at the mouth is thick with bait-fish and I found this small sting-ray swimming in the shallows off my beach, easy to see in the glass-clear water. |
