Position 16:55S 145:46E

We arrived in Cairns just before midday 15^th of September.

Marlin Marina is practically in the middle of the city so we have good access to all amenities within walking distance

Which is great.

As I write this, the new generator has been fixed!!!

Faulty exhaust temperature sensor, a known weakness and probably was broken before installation it just came apart as the boat rolled when we were using it.

We went to see a magic show last night in the Casino and a Chinese meal afterwards which was great.

Tomorrow we are heading into the country side by a scenic railway.
