The Top of the Bottom of the World
... circle. More on this when I become better informed to draw my own conclusions. But still, onto brighter things. Cairns itself has obviously become a victim of its rapid growth, shooting up in population and McDonaldisation when the international ...
Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reeef!
... déjeuné. Nous avons manger du poulet au curry, avec des salades et une brioche. Nous avons ensuite dirigé notre retour à Cairns. Sur le chemin du retour, nous avons eu un presentaion la vie marine, où j'ai appris des choses que nous avons ...

... sunbathing, and I even found time to go on a day trip to Green Island. Green Island is about 1hr by sea cat from Cairns. It is a coral cay, which mean the island was formed thousands of years ago by waves washing loads of debris/dead coral onto bits ...
Carefree in Cairns....kinda
... we were better, give it a week, it'll be fine...... Nope...a week later more torrential rain had caused flooding in Cairns and the surrounding towns closing off all roads in and out of the city, evacuating nearby towns and villages as the water ...

Went off to the reef with the 'Vagabond' a small sailing cruise ship (35tonnes, 25metres), it had room for 11 guests but fortunatly we were only 4. It was a 2 day 1 night trip... Got woken up Gregory a newly befriended Swiss that had to wake ...
A day to catch up and plan
I was in desperate need of clean clothes and needed to come up with some sort of plan for my trip down the east coast so that's mostly what today was about. I did manage to take a walk around town. As you can see here, they have a swimming pool ...
Back to Cairns
There is not much to say on the way back only that most of it was use to try and find a place name Blue Hole. We didn't find it and in the end only did a detour to Port Douglas. All in all it was a lot of fun and good ...
Back from the jungle
We'd looked at a few leaflets for day tours from Cairns, and eventually booked on one with Billy Tea Bush Safaris - as it turned out, the same trip as a lass we'd met on Magnetic Island, but who had arrived in Cairns before us. A Spanish ex-pat named ...
Rainforest and Reef.
... talk about the different types of opal and how they are cut and polished. Apparently 95% of the worlds opals are mined in Australia mainly by small-time operators as the returns are too small for the large mining companies to get involved. From here ...

Travel from Cairns to Townsville
The night was unexpectedly silent and so Bella and I could actually sleep all night long. Maybe it had also to do with the fact that we slept in separate beds first time for a very long time. In the morning we booked our bus journey to Townsville and got ...
Cairns - Beach
All they hang around in Cairns. Looking for tours to do to Great Barrier Reef. Decided to go to Cape Tribulation for an overnight tour and go Snorkelling on the outer Great Barrier Reef the day after. The little red mark on Bella's chin turned out to be a ...

Campervan antics

Touch Down

Arrival in Cairns
... about a day or two for my ears to decompress. I have been fighting a minor flu and congestion. It may be Ebola-Kyoto. Oh well. Cairns has a lot of young people here. As a result, it has a lot of hostels, cheap food and beer and a Daytona Beach ...
