The dreaded MOULD...

We are still in Cairns working and have gotten a short term lease on a small flat in the city (as it was cheaper than the caravan parks) so we packed up, leaving the lovely Crystal Cascades.
We unpacked our camper trailer into the flat..only to find our stuff doesnt take up much space, and most of it isnt really much use here anyway...so we have a half empty flat, but we still eat of plastic plates and picnic cutlery so we still feel a little like we are camping!... Except we have a microwave! (which of course we dont have anything that I can cook in, for a microwave) so we have had to buy a few containers and eat a bit of takeaway food to gather up some containers (well thats my excuse anyway!)   :-)
Anyway the point of the story was...THE MOULD>>>
We settled into our new flat and a week or so later, I thought we should pop out our poor lonely camper as I thought PI might be missing us and I wanted to give it a bit of a clean now that its empty.
We opened our poor PI to find he had sweated...sweated BIG TIME... the smell alone was staggering!
His blue walls were white with fluffy mould...His white roof, black with red spots...it was so so sad...
So after some research we made up a solution of vinegar and water and set to spraying him down inside and out and scrubbing off the offending stuff!
The walls came up perfect and it was good to get off all that red dirt from the cape but the roof...is now permanently stained, hopefully with a few more stints in the sunshine it will fade a little... we did always complain it was very bright in the morning in the tent...at least its a bit darker now!!
So when he is sleeping now we will put a moisture absorber in with him...

George gave his bag a good scrubbing (for about the third time) to reveal that yes it is shiney and not covered with red dirt! The trailer scrubbed up pretty well too...but it still has that ingrained red-dirt look that I think he will have for a long long time...

So PI now gets the carport and Magnum, our car gets the street park...

We have done a few day trips to Port Douglas...more on that later.... oh and we have found two quirky little 'big things' in Cairns
