 It was a brief overnight stay on the Island before we all headed off on the ferry back to the mainland and an hour and a halfs drive north to Macknade where my brother Joe and his family live.
Sugar Cane is one of the main industries in north Queensland and the drive took us past many kilometers of cane fields and the occassional cane train as it is harvesting season.
As we approached Macnade the Sun was setting.
 Joe had a fire going in his front yard to burn out an old tree stump and we used it to enjoy some toasted marsh mellows.

Oh, do they burn the cane at the end of the season? I’ve been in south Texas a couple of years when they were doing that and the flames leap so high! Beautiful sunset!
