Greetings from the highest point in Australia. Story as usual.

Hello all, we are now in Ravenshoe, far north Queensland.
We are spending a few days in one of the quaint pubs in town, which are built from wood as this is timber country.
This pub was built in 1911 if only it could talk.
There are two very large saw-mills here and it has always been a timber town.
Why even the majority of homes are built from timber.
Yesterday my Daughter Wendy took us down to Atherton for a ride, the streets have islands fill with many beautiful flowers, but unfortunately it is cold and raining here.
One thing can be said about being located at the highest point in Australia, up beyond the tablelands and bordering the rain forest, it is bloody cold and wet often!!
On the weekend we are moving out to Wendy’s property, I am dying to roam around looking for all the beautiful little creatures that live there.
From the platypus in the river, to the beautiful coloured moths attracted by the outdoor lights at night time.
On the 15th of September we will travel to Atherton, then to Cairns, where we will catch a plane to Brisbane, from Brisbane to Malaysia and then on to Bangkok.
A couple of days there with my mate Pete and his lady, then off to Phuket to meet up with a friend from FC.
Then to Udon-Thani for a while, next on to Chiang-Mai and on to Mae-Hong-Song to meet one of my good mates, living on the Mekong River.
I have several meetings around Thailand, which may turn out to be interesting.
Not much luck connecting to the net here, keep getting a busy line message.
I hopped out of bed at 4.30am to try and answer the comments, after ½ an hour of trying to connect I returned to bed and awoke at 9pm only to experience the same problem.
I discovered a Trojan in my laptop and have not been able to get rid of it.
Any advice from you out there would be appreciated.
My friends, I hope that you are all well and happy?
Best wishes from Ravenshoe.

Walkabout John.
