This 2002 trip included some time in the lovely city of Cairns where we
took some side trips to the rain forest and did a little white-water
rafting. This was mostly documented with video but we have a few
stills.......

Cairns - Tradewinds
Our digs while in Cairns, the Tradewinds Esplanade is, as you might expect,
right on the waterfront. |

D and J Themselves
A fun trip. |
|
|
|
Supersport
Mike Ball's first boat, the Supersport was scheduled for a major refit in the
season following our trip. |
|
|
|
Main Salon
The dining & social center was roomy enough for everyone without undue
crowding. |
|
|
|
Supersport's Galley
Incredible they could prepare so much food so fast from this small area. |
|
|
|
|
|
Refreshment Bar
Available 24 hours a day, this self-service area had soft and hard drinks. |
|
|
|
Camera Table
Supersport's dive deck was roomy and well equipped. |
|
|
|
Get Wet
The underwater stuff was all video, so I don't have any stills of the great
scenes down there. Buy a book. |
|

Feeding Frenzy
When the bell rings, don't be in the way. |
|
|

Sunset
No, this isn't J & D. But it was romantic for everyone. |

|
Cocktail Hour
Very popular each evening. |
|

Steaks on the Barby
Yeah, we did do things other than eating. It's just that all that other stuff
was documented on video. |
|
|
|
Supersport Gang
We had pretty much a full boat. Folks from all over. |

Dinner on the Lawn
The Tradewinds put on a great spread for us. A few sprinkles did not dampen
our enjoyment. |

The Rafting Crew
Hey, you take what you can get. |

Whitewater Rafting
Queensland rivers are not massive like the Colorado but are tight and
technical. Water flow varies with the season. |
|
|
|
Skyrail Gondola
Take the train up to the mountain town of Kuranda, ride the gondola down over
lush rainforest. |
