SUNDAY 21 JUNE     WONGA BEACH

There were heavy showers of rain off and on all day. Overall, there was quite a lot of rain.

Despite the weather, we played bowls in the afternoon. I think the bowlers up this way must be used to dodging the rain! I loved the setting of the bowls club, with cane fields around, and the green, jungle-y mountains in the background. The club has some photos, taken late in a day, showing its building with cane fires really high and fierce as its backdrop! Would be something to see. I did not play well on the wet and heavy green.

The drive from Wonga to Mossman is really varied and pretty, mostly through farmland – but always with those wonderful high mountains behind.

We had cheese omelettes for tea, with fries.
