And on Monday it started to rain and it made me think of the Innisfail Song "Hey Rain, 'and they've just fitted anchors to the Garradunga Pub', Hey Rain"
The Pub is just a few kms north of Innisfail surrounded by sugar cane; well was when I arrived. In the next few days the harvest team got to work to completely change the landscape. The pub, like most in regional Australia, is the social centre of the community and on this Sunday there was a small market out front complete with live music.
Had a major 'deja vu' moment whilst driving through the high cane and seeing the pub for the first time; about 30 years ago my wife and I, with some friends were on a driving holiday from Cairns, heading south and we may have stopped at this pub. Stopped at a few others as well. Things were different then :)
