... Honestly they were to die for!In Atherton we bought local ham,we went to a viewing platform that overlooked a swamp,and saw lots of Sarus Cranes.We also went to Lake Barrine, and had Devonshire Tea,with scones and the lot.We drove to a place called 'Gallo’(a cheese and chocolate factory)and even saw a couple of Brolga’s.On the ...

... and not get engulfed in multiple fears at the same time! Again another session of basic skills and just getting accustomed to life under the surface. I loved it. By the end of our final session in the pool I was chomping to get out to the reef and get a proper feel of diving. I had taken to it like a duck to water and I couldn&#8217;t get enough of it. <br> Day 3: Was amazing! The reef was spectacular, the fish completely unfazed by these particularly strange looking ...

... space for the women &#8230; and us.<br><br>Paul, Keegan, and Kyla slept okay. I dozed a bit but didn&#8217;t sleep too long or too well. At 5:30am, they announced it was time to go &#8211; the dawn began shortly after that, then it was full light when we reached Wewak at 6am.<br><br>Albert, wonderful man, had made arrangements with the driver to take us to the Boutique Hotel. When we arrived, the place was closed up, but the security guard let us onto the ...

... The Russell River National Park had some good fishing spots for M and we checked out the Innisfail area while we were there. Sugar cane country from here on in! Which apparently doesn&#8217;t do the fishing prospects any favours &#8211; at least that was what we were told and was as good a reason as any that the fish weren&#8217;t biting. Then we were off to try &amp; get in to Palm cove Council campground ...

... a member of staff saw &amp; called the police. They arrived &amp; all I could think was god they wear the same uniform as Jack from Home &amp; Away &amp; everything!!! Ha.<br><br>Finally arrived in Carins at 8.30am, after being searched by a sniffer dog, had my bag opened &amp; seached &amp; questioned by the airport about my trip so far &amp; what drugs I had been offered I could get the bus to my hostel.<br><br>The hostel is very ...

... entailed. .. yes, we left pretty quickely. Um yeah, night was good. People are lovely altohugh we've met more english and americans than australians.<br>Oh yeah., So we toold a walk after clubbing and this 16yrold boy came up to us telling us that he had just got all the tax back he was owed which came to 4000AUD (Like 2000pounds) and asked if he could buy us for all his moeny. (we said no by the way).<br>Next day we went ...

... and its not a swimming pool and where are the lifeguards and mummmmmm everyone can see your bum" what an exhilirating thing to do, swim in a rock pool knowing that all around you large fish and other such aquatic life were sharing the same space. ellie finally jumped in and with the sum relentless at 34 degrees i'm glad she did. we swam into the current like whirlpool and were swept along into the centre of water, slipping and sliding back to the shoreline. i felt like ...

... the coral was the most dissapointing aspect of our time on the reef. The coral reefs of the Barrier Reef are slowly dying in various ways. Rising water temperatures, particularly in 1998, 2002 and 2006, have contributed to extreme levels of coral bleaching. This is where the tips down to the base of the polpys literally turn white, which indicated the polyps have died. There is no recovery for a bleached coral. The fact that many of the reefs are in extremely shallow ...

... couples. Its nice enough and its got a pool. Its been cool to live somewhere like this so far. We go for long walks and go swimming a lot in a long overdue attempt to get fit and lose some of our chub! Its been working so far as we've lost around a stone each. There's loads of bars and pubs here as well as it is a town which seems completely designed to accommodate backpackers and tourists. After visiting other countries, we have found coming here so incredibly ...

... afternoon we drove up the coast on the Captain Cook Highway (its not just New Zealand where references to Cook abound!!) to Port Douglas - apparently one of the most scenic routes in Australia. There is rainforest on one side and miles of golden beach on the other. It is just such a shame that you can't swim in the sea because of the "stingers" - large box jellyfish and the smaller ...
