Trinity Bay - Cairns

Friday October 29th

We were glad of another day chilling by the pool today but wandered out after breakfast to take some photos of the bay and our surroundings.
 

The hotel is right next to the bay and the marina. There's also a man made lagoon complete with beach. This is very popular with locals and tourists. 

Further along the bay there is a memorial to the men who died at Gallipoli during the first World War. The hands on the clock are set to the exact time of landing on the 25th April 1915. It is a moving tribute.

Finally for all you bird watchers out there (you know who you are!), some images of the bird life spotted in a 10 min period this morning. We recognised (occasionally after consulting THE BOOK) pelicans, gulls, great egret, eastern reef egret/heron, spoonbill, oystercatchers, sandpipers, turnstones, curlew and godwits. I'm sure there were lots more we didn't spot.
