Blue Lagoon Resort Trinity Beach

... Dad some of which took up permanent residence in the garden for many a year. A lone tap for example, rust encrusted and yet remarkably fitting into our rockery is just one example. So I suppose it was sooner or later that I was going to take the plunge and get over my fear of the unknown.<br> Water has always encouraged a sense of dis ease in me, ever since I was a kid. Whether it be my totally irrational fear of swimming pool filters or not being able to see the bottom of the ...

... honey, coffee, etc. etc. etc. It was glorious! Then we continued on our way to Bre's parents' house...a beautiful home on a big country property outside of Mareeba. Her mom cooked us a delicious lunch, and once we were all very full, we went to a nearby spot called Granite Gorge (huge granite boulders everywhere). Here there are tons of rock wallabies that you can feed by hand! They were so cute and we even saw a few with babies in their pouches! We hustled back to ...

... the beach, and only 5 minutes from the grocery store so very convenient. It's about a 20 minute drive (or an hour-long bus ride) to downtown Cairns, so Brian has been driving to work with Bre and since I don't have a schedule, the bus is just fine for me.<br><br>In only 5 days Bre and Glen have taken us out to a friend and coworker's birthday dinner (we met lots of Brian's coworkers there...young, fun, and social people), to a BBQ on the beach with more friends, and to see the ...

We arrived in Cairns after a great stay at Palm Cove which is only 60km down the road. Kim white water rafted down the Tully River- 'a full day of adrenalin.' We stayed in a unit which was luxury for us, on the esplanade in town. We caught up with Matt, Sabina, Alex and Nicholas and the kids had a great time ...

... or feeling good. But, after talking to my family my spirits started to climb again. I saw an ad for farm work on a cattle station where food and accommodation were provided and they also paid about $200-$250 per week on top of that. So, I was thinking that was the end of my working woes! And it was going to be another exciting adventure, and help me pass the time until my dive trip came around (I rescheduled ...

... croc, called Sweetheart. Sweetheart was 5.1 meters in length and was captured after it was thought she'd become a danger to the public after numerous attacks, but died in the capture process. This is the biggest croc I think we saw dead or alive whilst in Aus, however its thought by experts that as crocs don't stop growing there could be bigger ones out in the wild and as hunting is now illegal there is potential to see bigger crocs in the future.<br> Our final night with Jay we ...

... law governing diving on the books in Queensland providing another indication of just how important tourism in the Barrier Reef is to the province. There are two unique aspects of diving in the Barrier Reef.

As we drove there are mountains on both sides with pasturelands. We stopped in Bundaberg to see if we could get the computer fixed (this is why we haven't been able to do much about the blog). We ended up having to leave it overnight which we did and checked in to the camp grounds near by. It is early ...
