... so they gave me a lift to a remote place called The Tree House, which was in the rainforest, and all the rooms were on the first floor in the wooden building. <br><br>I did very little here for a couple of days. I spent the first evening chatting with a Kiwi called Megan, and the second playing poker. On the ...

... stopped for a meal break no one moved until the end of the film. I've seen it before its called John Q with Denzel Washington about the poor state the American Health System is in, maybe thats where Obama got the idea from. The only other interesting thing to note was a group of kids who we assume where all traveling home after school back to the parents in Cairns (thats what the bus driver said), well he sat across the aisle ...

... day we drove to Tully and saw the Golden Gumboot, we drove miles up the valley to see the Tully gorge only to find that you can't because there&#8217;s a hydro electric scheme in the way and you can&#8217;t get through. <br><br>We loved our time at Liverpool Creek, not sure if it was the people or the place or the things we did while we there but I&#8217;d love to do it all again. <br>David<br>

... meeting lots of locals, enjoying a few coldies and with his wallet $300 better off &#8211; smiles all round!!<br><br> Greg&#8217;s win meant we could splash out at Elandra, a swish resort on the hill overlooking Dunk Island for afternoon tea. I enjoyed a lovely glass of champas with oysters and Greg opted for dessert, wine and coffee. The kids are happily letting us indulge after their previous day at the school fair.<br><br> Max had his first fight of the trip ...

... some huge rapids and lots of big splashes. <br><br>We had a BBQ lunch beside the river and continued down the river for a little longer in the afternoon. <br><br>All in all, it was an excellent day and we are both nice and tired!!<br><br>Laurie headed up to Cairns today ahead of us. He is picking up Josie from the airport tomorrow.<br><br>We will write again soon when there is more to tell&#8230;

... flight of our lives. It was insane. Plain and simple the craziest thing I have ever done. We quickly reached terminal velocity and could not tell how quickly we were dropping. Instead we took in the view, screamed and posed for our respective cameramen. All of a sudden my guide started doing spins in the air and he did them fast. Due to the fact that we were falling 9000 feet he was unable to hear my demand that he stop immediately. This had dire ...

... scrummy, one mango and one cherry. And then after more chatting we fell asleep. On Wednesday we all caught the bus to the beach, which was beautiful but at the same time heartbreakingly inviting - as you cant go in! They have stinger nets, but they aren't a hundred per cent effective, and there are some smaller evil jellyfish that can get through - so no swimming - so we had to find other ways to amuse ourselves. So first of all we did the ...

... seems to bestow me. I was yet again saved, in the form of a good and ever helpful friend of mine, Louisa. She kindly agreed for me to stay with her and her family in Adelaide. If that wasn&#8217;t enough of a saving grace, she even found me a job. So with a cozy spare room all to myself and at minimal cost, I was delighted to have friends who care. It was only a week until my job as a landscape laborer and gardener began. The pay was modest and frequent and the work ...

I managed to scramble down at get them at great effort - but at all times *****-ing myself in case of "threatening" one of the local inhabitants of the slithery nature. Back at base - I joined the Sanctuary gang including the two on site temporary workers (called wwoofers - two english ...
