Coco Loco and the Doctors Mission Beach

... all his own clothes, Jamie was a Transformer, ie. wearing cardboard boxes. Caroline, who we thought wasn't dressing up had apparently found a costume and arrived downstairs wearing my clothes and guitar. I attempted a Backstreet Boy but I think I just looked gay.<br><br>Photos: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1 8107

... Depending on the type of driver you get depends on how smooth the journey is, some don't say anything sit down and drive the bus which is fine where as others talk over the PA system letting you know where you are when the next rest break is and put on films to watch. Thankfully we got the latter type and everyone settled into the film, people got that hooked on it that they were moving seats saw they could see and when the ...

... loved it and would recommend it to anyone.<br><br>Next day we moved down the hill a few kilometres and set up camp next to Liverpool Creek where we stayed for a couple of days. The kids swam in the creek, we fished, we relaxed, we made friends. It was wonderful. We drove to Mission Beach a couple of times, once to visit a friend and then to have a long luxurious lunch with her and her family ...

... Maegan rode a pony and Max went on the jumping castle. I purchased lots of cheap books for the kids and myself. We were able to watch the CFA display that simulated a kitchen fire and then put it out, whilst pointing out all the necessary steps for an oil based fire. It was fascinating, we all learnt a lot.<br><br> Soon it was time to pick Greg up, he was meant to meet us at the school, which was only a short walk from the TAB. He&#8217;d had a brilliant day ...

... instead, for no extra. It is still the same rapids, but we got to stop at quite a few places and jump off high rocks. We also got to float down a rapid (surprisingly frightening) and do some body-surfing on a standing wave. Unfortunately, the weather wasn&#8217;t the best that we&#8217;ve had so far, so we were both a bit cold. That said, it didn&#8217;t ruin the experience at all. There ...

... but these other cars tend to ride your rear bumper a lot, bullying you into driving faster&#8230;.We read of a lot of deaths in Queensland due to bad driving&#8230;<br><br><br> <br><br><br><br>{the thing with these birds was the red eyes..I;ve cropped the picture in the hope you can see ...

... an entire minute - anything for a good facebook profile pic. With a very brief chat about safety we loaded into a tiny propeller plane and off we went, climbing not one, not two, not even ten but a whopping fourteen thousand feet. For those of you who can&#8217;t calculate, that&#8217;s really ****ing high. And then it was time to jump. The door was open and we were each instructed to place our legs under the plane, tilt our heads back and prepare for ...

... the afternoon we got the bus to town for an hour just to go to the post office and we had a little wander on the beach and looked round a gorgeous little art gallery before heading back to the ranch in the late afternoon. By the time we had got back Micha and Emma had arrived, so we cooked cous cous for dinner and sat up late drinking and chatting. They bought us some really delicious yoghurts for pudding as they had been to visit a dairy, which ...

... Australia. Without so much as a job or idea of where I was going to head, something (as always) I thought, would just come up! Bearing in mind that this was not a great time to be heading to a country also struggling with the financial crisis and with the inevitable stir of unemployment looming, who knows what could have happened.<br>When a jobless and more-or -less moneyless reprobate status seemed inevitable, I once again received some reoccurring good fortune that ...

... Hill - this is a rainforest path which leads to the summit of a hill with views over the surrounding area with banana plantations to the west and the various townships and ocean views to the North, East and South. Like a fool I skipped breakfast and only brought a small bottle of water which I sweated out in about 5 minutes. By the time I reached the summit, I was truly a little dizzy and still suffering from the sway of the ocean which my body still ...
