~~~~~
At just over 16.9 degrees
South of the Equator,
I think Cairns
qualifies as tropical..
Our rail journey up to Kuranda took us
past many waterfalls, which
due to the wet season had
much more water flow than
any waterfall in Victoria does in April
As this excursion is billed as Skyrail we had
a return journey over tropical forests.
This trip was my first exposure to
the beauty of tropical plants.
I could not work out why every man
and his dog was frequenting this pool.
Our accommodation was about two blocks
from an unused beach. Why unused?
Twice I wandered down to ‘our’ beach
wondering why no-one was using it.
Both times into the water about ankle-deep.
It was while leaving the beach, the second time,
that I noticed a sign which in not so many words
told me that crocodiles also used that beach.
I quickened my step never to return. 🙂

Book Review-The-Watson-Girl
The Watson Girl
(Tess Winnett #2)
by
Leslie Wolfe
The Watson Girl sees Tess has returning to work early, from leave, and immediately asked to interview a death row inmate, due for execution, for killing 34 families.
Does she become seduced by the killer’s demeanour and believe his claim? During the interview she is told a few truths which make her question some findings of cold cases.
The Watson Girl was a slow starter and seemed to just get going when the villain of the story was given time to introduce himself. The first villain chapter seemed to almost bring the flow of the story to a halt. Through regular interludes with the villain readers are given a real insight into his depraved mind. As the villain chapters progressed so too did my enjoyment of The Watson Girl.
As with all good thrillers the villain was not revealed until well into the book. While busy wondering how the villain would be caught, slip up there was another unseen twist brewing in left field.
The Watson girl sees a subdued Tess Winnett back on the job. She tries extremely hard to keep her tongue in check, but still has her moments.
