Family decision. My family had 24th evening for family presents and
the 25 for "Santa".

Food depends on family and weather for the day so it could be anything
from a BBQ and salad to the full (European) traditional roast meal and
Christmas pudding.
This usually results in an afternoon nap....zzzzz
The Christmas trees and Santa/snow scenes are to make us feel cooler
in the heat.

Bowen mangoes, Bowen mangoes, peaches, apricots, plums, cherries,
bananas, paw paw for starters.

The best beach is always the next one along that you didnt get to,
according to everyone else.
It depends on how far north or south, convenience of getting there,
how crowded, the size of the surf, etc.
The main thing to remember is to only swim between the flags on
patrolled beaches. Unfortunately we have have to many tourists who
know better and swim out of the flagged areas. The end up travelling
home alone in the cold cargo hold rather than up in the warmth being
served hot food.

To enjoy your stay dont forget to slip on a shirt, slop on some
sunscreen and slap on a hat. It can be hot.
