Buildings vary, but you look for the grand old Queenslanders painted in the colours of Federation, green and gold, with corrugated tin roofs and encircling verandahs railed by cast iron. They stand high on stilts so the cool breeze blows all around. The advent of air conditioning brought about architectural changes. The verandahs are boarded up and glassed in, the stilts lengthened to add a finished basement. So much for the romantic.
New construction tends toward the simply dull.
I've been delinquent in these for over a month. Two other tasks for the day. Find a dive company for several days scuba on the Great Barrier Reef. Maybe do a night dive, multi-level dive, drift dive or photography dive. A maximum of 20 like minded passengers are under the professional guidance of our 3 highly qualified resident dive crew.
