Mothers Day

I hope all the Mum's in Mission Beach had a lovely day yesterday. There were certainly plenty of families hanging out together on the beach. People were flying kites, building sandcastles, fishing, walking their dogs and generally having a great time. That's what I love about living in far north Queensland, we can still do this in May, gotta love that!
