Mother Nature puts on her own special Christmas show at this time of the year with just about everything coming into blossom at the same time - it's beautiful. The brilliant red of the Poinciana and Flame trees is contrasted with great slabs of bright yellow from the Wattles. Purple, pink and white Frangipanni not only delight the eye but also dazzle the nose with heavy perfume. Truly, Cairns, Far Noth Queensland, is a kaleidoscope of colour - pity the weather is so bleedin' hot and humid, but then you can't have everything! Merry Christmas to all YIU gecko
