To the east are the high hills of Hinchinbrook Island (Pouadai) and to the west – beyond miles of mangroves, scrub and swamp – is the Great Dividing Range.

Tonight we have been on a Fantastic Frogging Adventure in Cairns (Far North Queensland) with Bridgette Gower!

We met this absolutely stunning Australian Lace-Lid gentleman, who was very kind to close his eyes for a while and show us the beautiful eyelids he is named after!

They were fed at the kitchen door and "made night hideous till a late hour", dancing with the station blacks. The Hennings were untroubled but some of their staff feared they had only hours to live. She continued:

The next morning when they were peacefully eating their breakfasts up rode Mr Uhr the officer of the native police in this district. he rode straight into the camp. "Bail you run away"* he said but there was not a chance for the mounted troopers had surrounded them on all sides before they found it out. They took it very philosophically but I was quite sorry for the poor creatures some of them were very lame and footsore & three of them were gins. they must have walked nearly 1000 miles from Rockingham bay here. Mr Uhr said he only heard of it 2 days before. the whole police force of Rockingham bay had absconded leaving the settlers there in a great plight, surrounded by wild blacks.

*Don't run away.
