Memento mori

 

Tony with his memento mori

My newly-made friends Tony and Helmut gave me much-needed moral support when the proverbial hit the fan: a phone call from home announcing a domestic crisis!

Too late to immediately rush back to Cairns to cancel my bookings and rebook myself onto the next flight home which I did next day - if only to make the lights were turned off in the house!

I spent another sleepless night in Yungaburra and packed up my few belongings to hit the road a few hours after midnight to get to Cairns and the nearest airline booking office as soon as it opened its doors.
