Clifton Beach
Apologies if posts become slightly erratic over the next couple of weeks, but I'm going to be hard at work lying on the beach, drinking Tequila Sunrises, Long Island Iced Teas and Mai Tais, nibbling on fresh-caught reef fish and tropical fruits, snorkelling the Barrier Reef and other arduous pursuits.
Or I may sit in the shade on my verandah overlooking the ocean and listen to the gentle sussurations of the surf and the desperate whine of the Qantas jets struggling to make it to the runway at Cairns airport.
Culture will have to take a back seat, unfortunately - well, this IS the Deep North.
For the next two weeks it's dial-up or borrow hubby's Telstra mobile thingy and hope his boss doesn't notice the leap in data charges on the company account, so don't expect miracles.
Rest asured I will not be out of touch and will continue to keep a beady eye on Jeff Kennett, Penny Wong and anyone else worth a mention.
The Facebook group Jeff Kennett: Up Yours! We Do Not Need To Protect Anyone From Gay Men! goes from strength to strength and now has more than 750 members, all of whom think it's past time Jeff got Jeffed!
Meanwhile my good mate Tim Newton will be keeping my seat warm on the Rainbow Report, and with any luck the new studios will finally be finished by the time I get back!!
See ya!!
