Daintree Youth Camp and Family Fun Night!

2 September
Mum and I were sewing a sheet together to prepare for the skit we are doing for the Family Fun night on Sunday. Our skit will be a “shadow theatre” where everyone will see David’s shadow being operated on. We have been talking about it and laughing at the things that Dad will be pulling from David’s belly! …

Bliskie spotkania trzeciego stopnia

Filmy przyrodnicze to fajna sprawa- siedzi sie z ciepla herbatka przed telewizorem i obserwuje dziczyzne w naturalnych warunkach. Gorsza sprawa jak ta dziczyzna pojawi sie nagle dwa metry przed Toba...

Wstalismy leniwie i pomimo wygranego glosowania, ze dzisiaj jest niedziela (byla co prawda sobota, ale jakie to ma znaczenie...) Marian …

Daintree National Park

We rented a car and made the 75 mile (110km) fairly hard core driving north to where the rainforest meets the reef "Daintree National Park," which holds one of the best view points- Cape Tribulation. The park is only accessible via a cable ferry which runs every 15 minutes and holds about 20 cars. The Indigenous Kuku-yalaji people called this area …

Plenty of trees in the Dain!

We had a reasonably quick drive from Townville to Cairns, it feels so easy when we are not towing the van for a change. (bizzare to be able to see stuff behind us!)
After a quick stop for lunch, we were soon arriving in The Daintree. The drive was really interesting, following the coast, (stopping for a (very quick) pee on a 'croc beach') …

Cairns beaches,Port Douglas,Daintree National Park

We left Cairns after a great few days and went to check out the beaches just North of the city. There is a 26km stretch of coast with several different beaches. We first stopped at Holloways beach which is only about a 5 minute drive from the city. The beach was really nice and completely empty so we chilled out there for a while sunbathing. After …

Daintree and Cape Tribulation

For the last little trip out of Cairns Tarrah and I went up to Cape Tribulation in the Daintree national park. Apparently it is the oldest rainforest in the world and it looks pretty much the same as it might have millions of years ago (not actually sure of how long ago). The drive was a little exciting as we didn't get there until dark and the …

Paradise found

With no hairdryers, mobile signal or TV you'll appreciate that it's pretty difficult to update a travel blog. Basically since arriving in Cairns on Wednesday we picked up our 4WD Nissan (huge motor!) with tent up top and pop up tent included, fridge on board, table, water tank and we headed up North to the Tropics. Take a look at Cape Tribulation …

Daintree en Cape Tribulation

Ochtendstond heeft goud in de mond: om 7u20 stond Mike van Daintree Wonder Tours ons op te wachten voor een trip door Far North Queensland. Als enige touroperator doen zij het traject omgekeerd, waardoor je veel minder toeristen tegen komt. Dat in combinatie met max 6 mensen is een geslaagd recept. Onze eerste stop is in Kulki-Daintree National …

Excursion into the Australian tropics

The rest of Australia was great. I spent nearly two weeks in and around Cairns way up in the tropics. I loved it up there, went snorkeling once at the Great Barrier Reef, huge fish under the boat, simply adorable. Cairns itself is a sight, with a free 24-hour lagoon and some of the nicest hostels. Further up north is Cape Tribulation, where …
