Cairns

We've been to Cairns and now returned
to winter rain and cold.
In Cairns the freeze had been adjorned
but drizzling rain was bold.
I thawed. I shopped. We drove a lot
we saw the cyclone damage...
the roofs and palm trees had been lopped.
I wondered how they manage.
We took a cat out to the reef,
Great Barrier Reef - Green Island.
And there we climbed into, beneath
a boat, to 'sub' and see sand.
The jelly fish were stingers so
we chose to not go snorkling,
instead we rode another boat
the kiwi host was chortling
about a whale they'd seen the day
before we went: a white one.
We'd seen a dark one on the way,
though humpback, not the right one.
