While we had been seeing these for many kilometres before crossing the tropical line, up here they appear far more numerous and far larger. I would expect that anything made of wood might want to keep moving along at a fast pace.<\/p>\n

We are camping one more night along side the highway before having the luxury of a caravan park in Normantown complete with hot spa and large swimming pool.
