May and little to say!

Who knows, I was away! Yes, I really was....well for a week anyway. Yup! I finally went up north for a week, for work reasons, visiting the metropoli of Cairns, Weipa, Injinoo and Hopevale. Injinoo is on the far northern tip of Cape York and one of the northernmost settlements in Australia.  Anyway, I was working, but as I scuttled about from place to place I did manage to snap the odd bird.
