View from the Jetty – June Perkins

I’ve just been looking through some old photographs and found some enchanting memories of trips to Cardwell, just down the road.  It is under going lots of restoration and change.

I miss how it was before Yasi.

Before the cyclone it had some beautiful trees, covered in flowers, and there for the climbing.

I remember early trips where we would see people’s boats sitting on the shore. Although I was never sure if this one was ever used.

Although walking around after the cyclone I found this headstone, which I’d never noticed before.

The trees were different but many were still there.
