Well if you are still with us on our travels, you would realise that we are now on the downhill run to home. But just one more stop further north to Cooktown was where we headed yesterday. Geoff really is quite reluctant to make the journey south, mostly because of the temperature, but also because we have had such a good trip. Nevertheless, we ...

The guys headed off to go fishing this morning. The barramundi up here is the reward to be had. With them gone, us girls were able to relax into the day. Nice warm showers! Nothing like the old camping style shower. The guys returned without fish….another story of how they were just tooo big to haul in. Hmmm. Went and checked out the other...

Enjoyed Elim Beach. Josh woke me up to let me know he was going out to the guys who were out fishing. Only problem was that between the guys and himself was a lot of mud. He started crying about 10m off shore and howled by around 50m off shore. I decided it was time to go to the rescue, especially with the siting of crocs in the area! Retrieved ...

After getting the washing job out of the way we set off to Archer Bay which for those that know it reminded me a little of Cleaveville (near Roebourne WA) in that a beach bay area and when we got there one of the first things we saw apart from the water and reef was the caravans perched everywhere. A beautiful spot although the wind was blowing ...

Got up early this morning for a swim in the pool. It was nice and refreshing but don't worry, I don't intend to make early morning swims a habit!! We set off at 9.30am today for Cooktown. We are expecting a four hour journey out in the wilderness on our own. We took the Great Inland Road to get there. In four hours I think we saw a maximum of 30...

OK, firstly I have to tell you about the drive to Cooktown. Heading north out of Cape Trib is where the Bloomfield track starts. It is a 4WD track only, which I did by 4WD bus (Countryroad Coachlines), and included some river crossings and very steep roads at times. The road eventually lead out of the Daintree and met the Bloomfield river, it th...

We were up really early today as we were heading to Cooktown for the day. It was just over 300k away and as we don't speed anymore it took just over 3 hours and we got there at about 10:15. We went to the Botanical Gardens and there were about 40 wallabies just hopping about in the fields, We then went to the Charlie Tanner exhibition which was ...

We went on a brilliant trip to some less busy dive sites up the coast from Cairns. We had a low level flight up the coast over the reefs, which was stunning. We landed at Lizard island, a secluded luxury resort frequented by celebrities. We only had enough time there to use the loo though, before being transferred out to the boat. The boat was e...

Hello hope everyone is keeping ok. Just some oz sayings for you which we are picking up quickly, no dramas, too easy and no worries. We have just finished our tour of the tropical north, well what can I say but amazing!! This place has been the best we have seen by far, where the rainforest meets the beach. We stopped in the tropical rainforest ...
