... y a un certain manque un détail (ou ********) pour avoir autant de choses exceptionnelles. C&#8217;est comme toutes les stations de radio d&#8217;une ville sont numéro 1, mais uniquement pour un segment de marché !<br><br>Pendant plus d&#8217;une trentaine de minutes, on se promène entre les montagnes et ont peut admirer la forêt (je peux m&#8217;imaginer la beauté du lieu avec une petite brume du matin). Une fois arrivée en haut, le petit village à quelques ...

... the shopping mall. So we can at least say we experienced the first rain here in Cairns for 6 months instead of all that boring hot sunshine and blue skies we've been getting used to of late. Claire was telling us about the bush fires that they have been getting and how this will obviously help stop them and freshen all the plants up. We spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon running around a big mall with the kids in little race car trolleys each ...

... lagoon area along the foreshore is magic. Much nicer than just grass and mudflats!<br>Had a wander through the permanent night markets where we had some yummy Japanese style crepes - complete with cornflake sprinkles for some strange reason. Lots of high quality kak here for your purchasing pleasure.... "Hello Titty" tee-shirts, crocodile claw backscratchers, splattered cane toad postcards, kangaroo scrotum coin purses and flower brooches made from fur. Yeee-uck!

Yesterday was marvelous!!! I finally did what I have been looking forward to all year, which is... scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef!!!!! YAY! (Can you tell I'm excited about it?)<br><br>I signed up for a boat called the 'Silver Swift&#8217;, which is apparently the fasted boat from Cairns to the reef. It included three different reef sites, morning tea, buffet lunch and afternoon tea, hire of all equipment, and an introductory dive, plus ...

... host of living things, composed of living coral growing on dead coral dating back perhaps as much as twenty million years. Many generations of dead coral have built themselves into great walls of stone covered in a diverse range of living organisms such as coral, algae, anemones, sponges, fish, worms, starfish, turtles, molluscs, snakes, crustaceans, and an extraordinary array of thousands of species of plants and animals.<br>Although there is no direct physical evidence ...

... around Kuranda and found a place to have lunch. It is a very interesting little place, quaint shops, mostly gift shops, but the occasional art gallery - was very interesting. From the internet ........<br><br>''The picturesque mountain retreat of Kuranda Village is just 25km northwest of Cairns in Far North Queensland, Australia and is surrounded by World ...

... plush modern camper compared to a the Wicked campers which are old work vans with a matressin the back. Our one is an automatic 2.4l petrol and has a DVD/CD player, fridge, two gas cookers, two big drums for water, seating for up to four, an extendible bed out the boot that covers around with tenting material and a huge retractable electric sunroof for star gazing at night. Not to mention it has ipod compatibility, electric windows and ...

... our first stop is Cars &amp; Campers where the guy informs us that there is very little campervans left in Cairns, he gives us the option of the Wicked Campervans or a hightop one from Camperman Australia. I must explain about the Wicked Campervans they are the cheapest campervan rental in Oz but they are really cramped looking and there not like a regular campervan where you can have a table in the back these just have the bed and that's it, also wicked ...

... pounding the track along the edge of the bay, walking north away from the city centre. God turned his attention away from the taps and flicked the light switch instead, darkness setting in almost instantaneously as it tends to do nearer the equator. Once at the end of the park I turned around and walked back the half hour or so to The Esplanade where I met with Steph, the first of my future tour mates, and grabbed a cheap and nasty dinner in an empty shopping centre food court.

... water at Horsea Island torpedo range and demonstrating our abilty to replace our masks and ascend while saying "aaaaaaahhh". Not. as we clambered out of the tank, we shook hands and swore we'd never dive in the UK again. The next time that we strapped on an air tank and took a wide step into the water was on the Barrier Reef and what a pleasant contrast it made. Visibility was 30m if not more and the water was warm. Well, realtively, I was still ...
