Robert and the coconut.

It rained a lot in tropical Queensland. Buckets, really. But we still had a lot of sunny, warm temperatures in the 30s. And we still managed to enjoy ourselves. One morning as we sat watching the downpour from Castaways at Mission Beach, we saw a man gathering coconuts in the rain while a parade of kids followed behind him. He lookedlike the Pied Piper. Talking to him later, we found out he was Luke Bice from Sunrise Coconuts and that he had just been live on the air for ABC morning news. Then he cut us a fresh coconut to share and even added a little umbrella for flair. Nice.
