Yesterday we went to Green Island. The Island was named after Captain Cooks astronomer. Even though the island is green...it was the astronomer's name they used. It is about a 45 mile boat ride from Cairns. We spent the day from 8:30 to about 4 or so on the island and traveling back and forth. The player went snorkeling and some saw a large water snake...others claimed to ride on turtles backs. You can walk across the island in about 10 minutes. We took a glass bottom boat ride to see the section of the Great Barrier Reef off of Green Island...incredible!

Today, it was off to the zoo to see the crocs, lemurs, kangaroos and yes even feed the kangaroos...also saw a bird show and got great photos of the Koala's. Now we are back at the hotel, the Shangri-la here in Cairns awaiting this afternoons game with Cairns the 2009 ABA champions from Queensland state. The game starts at 5 p.m. here...1 a.m. early Sunday morning in Utah.
We will hopefully get a report on Power 91 after the game and you can read details here on the blog and on the SUU website courtesy of Neil Gardner.
