CURTAIN FIG TREE

We have reached the Atherton Tablelands and its a very pretty spot, very green and lush.

It makes a big change from the dusty outback.

We really like this area although it is not as hot , we have arrived at a place called Mereeba,

only 62 k from Cairns, but we are getting power, showers and water for only $15 a night, i think we will be going to Cairns from here as a day trips as it cost up to $46 a night closer to Cairns. By the way we have bought ourselves a car to tow along a little 4x4 , it will make such a difference to us.

We are travelling with a lovely family from New Zealand and we have been going out with them in their car. They are great company and we have lots of fun with them.

This picture is of a curtain fig tree which is a very strange it grows on a host tree and what you can see is the root system and eventually the host tree dies.
