Departure of Magnetic Island arrival Mission Beach

Can you believe its only 5 days till Christmas today! Total Madness! I can't believe it as it doesn’t- as I keep saying- feel like December at all let alone Christmas.

We loaded the car up with our bags checked out and sat and had breakfast out on the decking looking out onto the Ocean- it was such a clear morning no clouds in the …

What Did You Do Today?

Scotty's has a small shop to buy food and drinks from, so I got coffee and cereal for breakfast after waking up. I chatted to Clare, a Scottish girl who was checking out today, but had a few hours waiting in Scotty's. She came here just to skydive. Apparently this is one of the best skydiving locations in Australia if not the world.

Adrenaline Fix Part 1 – Jump The Beach

Today, for some reason known only to Bobby, he has decided to do a skydive!! At Mission Beach they give you the option to jump at 14,000 feet, freefalling for a whole 60 seconds before the parachute opens and you float down over the Great Barrier Reef and land on the sand at Mission Beach.

Bobby was doing the first jump of the day which …

Chilling by the pool

Hello

It's our last day at Mission Beach today as tomorrow we are going back to Cairns! We have managed to find one work for accommodation job at JJ’s backpackers.

What ever happened to Mission Beach?

The drive from Townsville to Mission Beach was nice and short, only but along the way we could see the results of Cyclone Yasi which struck this area in February 2011. There are houses totally demolished, lots with tarps covering the roofs and the rain forest all the way to Mission Beach has been devastated.... the destruction is amazing! Lots of …

Skydive + Mission Beach (14.01. - 29.01.2011)

Hallo mal wieder!

Die letzten zwei Wochen habe ich in Mission Beach in einem sehr gemuetlichen Hostel verbracht. Zusammen mit einer Englaenderin mit dem Namen Helen fuhr ich mit dem Greyhound-Bus von Cairns nach Mission Beach. Im Hostel trafen wir auch einige Altbekannte wieder und wir hatten viel Spass zusammen.
Zusammen mit sechs …

Quick day working

Today was spent pretty much cleaning. Michelle got me to scrub the side of the toilet/shower block outside walls and the inside and outside of the doors, mop the deck area in the pool house and outside.

I'm being given jobs to last me till 1 with a half hour break, today I didn’t bother with the break and finished at 11:30!, so I …

Missions > Treehouse > Innisfail

Woke up and the sun wasn't out which was disappointing, but came out during the day. I went down to the beach for a walk after using up the rest of my free internet usage, updating my blog and checking emails. Off to the bus stop to go up to the Treehouse to ask about jobs after I’d rung the guy yesterday. I got up there and the girl said …

White water rafting here we come!!!!

Mission Beach is known for its Tully river white water rafting and skydive, but as we were chickens we opted for the first one. Having never rafted before we went head first and began at grade 4 rifts. Our raft leader was only a 17 year old junior but gave us the best experience ever. only on the third set of rapids, we experienced our first …

Larry jumps out of a plane!!!

Man this place is chilled out. We wouldn't have minded a bit of a chill as it was shocking warm here (we are never happy!).

We got a place with a swimming pool here anyways, happy days, but bunk beds again. God you'd need it in this heat. Myself and Jenny didn't get up to too much here, trying to save the shillings for further down the …
