Last month I had some days working out of Cairns.

Not much time for walking, but thought I would post a few shots, mostly in very low light using hand held time exposures (Ok - some were on rocks)
Yes - this was using a PENTAX K20D - very nice camera :)

Great photos. I also had a few days in Cairns recently but unfortunately did not have enough time to have a good look around as we were tracking down incursions of exotic "Asian honey bees" that have been spreading in the Cairns area and are now up on the Atherton tableland. They act as vectors for other nasties that could wipe out the Australian pollination industry which would decimate Australias fruit and vegetable production.
