Drove into the Daintree Rainforest north of Cairns on Thursday. It bucketed down. Who knew it would rain in a rainforest?
Went to Cape Tribulation where the rainforest goes all the way down to the sea. Captain Cook named this place in June 1770 after scraping the Endeavour on a reef nearby.
Untouched landscape probably looked identical 250 years ago.

Human kind is fooked when someone models a business out of cleaning trainers!!!



I am reminded of the Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy:

The Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B was a way of removing the basically useless citizens from the planet of Golgafrincham. A variety of stories were formed about the doom of the planet, such as blowing up, crashing into the sun or being eaten by a mutant star goat. The ship was filled with all the middlemen of Golgafrincham, such as the telephone sanitisers, account executives, hairdressers, tired TV producers, insurance salesmen, personnel officers, security guards, public relations executives, and management consultants.

Ark Fleet ships A and C were supposed to carry the people who ruled, thought, or actually did useful work.

The ship was programmed to crash onto its designated planet, Earth. The captain remembers that he was told a good reason for this, but had forgotten it, although the reason was later revealed to be because the Ark Ship B Golgafrinchans were a 'bunch of useless idiots'.

After the ship took off, no word was heard from either Golgafrincham or the other A and C ships.

After five years of traveling, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect were teleported onto the ship. They spoke to the captain and were very alarmed by the story of the ship.

The ship crashes onto the supercomputer Earth and is wrecked, but many of the passengers and crew survive. They begin running the planet in accordance with their previous useless ways. Arthur and Ford agree that this explains a lot about later Earth inhabitants.

Fate of Golgafrincham:
A notation in the Guide about Golgafrincham after the departure of the B Ark states that the entire remaining population subsequently died from a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone.

Very 2020?

I can't recall the last time I owned a pair of 'trainers'. Running shoes I go through at about 2 pairs a year. Or I used to.

Did the Daintree on two wheels 20 years ago from Cairns. Great place, no rain though.

I quite enjoyed my time on the Keto diet. Chocolate fat bombshell were brill.
Only did it for a couple of months but leaned up nicely.
The “breath” wasn’t too good tho!
