I grumbled at 5 am this morning when I swung my leg over my bike and started pedalling, but we were on a photo mission.
For those who’ve read Wings of Fear (hopefully all of you now reading this!) Haycock Island, off Palm Cove, figures prominently in the action.Β The locals call it Scout Hat – for obvious reasons – and in the story that caused confusion for the customs investigation as no-one from outside of Cairns had heard the name before.
Here it is at sunrise.

The Fisherman were up before us!

And you can see why its nickname is Scout Hat!




5 Degree is brisk?, it was 0 degrees here! π
You’re a more determined woman than me. I only recognise one 5 o’clock – and it’s NOT in the am! π
Yikes!!! A very pleasant 18 here this morning but it still felt chilly on the bike… Must investigate thermal cycling pants.
Lovely photo’s. It was ten degrees outside at 7 this morning. Urk!!! I’m not looking forward to winter. π
Thanks ladies! Yes it was a little brisk but closer to 20 degrees up here, Amanda π
Stunning… was the air brisk at that hour? It was a cool 5 degrees here at 5am!!
Beautiful!
