So here it is folks, the next installment of my Aussie adventure.  Before I start I have to put a warning on this entry; this entry contains vast amounts of alcohol (sorry mum!) and also sorry to all those reading James Adby's blog as there may be some repeats! Yes I have managed to make it to Cairns in one piece although I'm sure that...

On the way to Cairns from Townsville we stopped off at a town called Tully which was a big wellington boot in one of its parks because of all the rain it gets and a crocodile farm outside Inisfail. The crocodile farm was brillant. The guides would put hats on the crocs and stuff. We then got eat some crocodile meat and hold a snake. Cairns is ...

The dive boat life is sweet. I just got back on land last night, and I am swaying all over, trying to compensate for the movement of gravity that is just not happening. I spent three days on the Kangaroo Explorer, two hours off the coast at the Milln reef. There are about twelve on the boat crew, and twelve of us were divers and snorkellers. We ...

Well, since Q updated you last, we spent another couple of days in Brunei, including a visit to the famous mosque in the capital city Bandar El Bagawan (fabulous gold covered minarets!), only unfortunately we couldn't look round as it is closed on Thursdays so that they can get it ready for Fridays (which is the Muslim day of prayer - like our S...

We arrived in Queensland (Cairns), the Sunshine State, during the wee ours of the morning only to find out our hostel was full! Not something you want to hear at 2am especially in the form of a note giving us a shoddy apology and directions to an alternative hostel. After a restless sleep we woke early (ish) and headed north to Port Douglas. Fam...

Went for a swim in Mossman Gorge which was freezing then up into Daintree Rainforest. Yesterday met up with the Contiki lot who i'm travelling down t...

We left Uluru Rock around lunch time and flew to Cairns. To our disapointment, we arrived to rainy weather in Cairns. The rain was the result of Cyclone Monica. This particular cyclone hit Cape York, which is northeast of Cairns. As we came off the plane, it was hot and humid. And we were surrounded by lots of palm trees. We were eager to head t...

Cairns. Finally. It's so warm and nice here. And I'm so glad I found a room for a couple of nights because the rugby game between the states, the watchacall it, is going on and pretty much everything is booked up. Got the last bed at a place just a minute's walk form the bus station! And just to make sure I don't lose any of them, because my ema...
