Park Regis City Quays Cairns

... up and she didn&#8217;t want to continue. So I was left with a private dive just me and the instructor which was really good, as we spent longer out and he could show me different coral. I saw so many beautifully coloured fish, and coral, all the colours of the rainbow. I tickled a clam til it closed, and held a sea cucumber. I hopefully have some good photos on my underwater camera, can&#8217;t wait to get that developed.<br>That was my first dive, we then moved to a different reef where I ...

... when its cooler and after a few drinks we decided to start making things for the Halloween Party at 11.30 on a Sunday night. Mark was making a paper mashay head which was funny as the first one burst sending sticky mashay everywhere, Claire was making Ghosts and Witches that she hung up using Marks fishing line, LJ and I were tasked with making some big tombstone out of cardboard and paper mashay. Then LJ decided we ...

Up at 530 again for a couple more dives at the fish bowl. Similar to yesterdays dives, but no sharks:( Finally got to see a turtle on the second dive. Scratched his shell, he stopped and quite enjoyed it. Baked in the sun before heading to west timur. Fairly disappointing dive after the ...

... out we also fortunate enough to come across a couple of green turtles! Phenomenal experience to be swimming alongside these beautiful creatures. Later found out this was a very lucky encounter. One of the staff at Big Cat had been snorkeling at Green island innumerable times and had not seen a turtle once, so for us to come across two in one outing was very fortunate indeed!<br><br>About 3.30pm we headed to ...

... As our instructor says: "the greener, the cleaner"!!<br>6. Don't touch corals or colorful fish (the more color and the brighter the more dangerous)<br>7. Sharks and barracudas are not dangerous. Humans are!<br>8. Deepest dive first then dive in more shallowed waters<br>9. Deep under air reserves are compressed, not water. Body is 80% water - equalize<br>10. Always team up with a buddy<br>- Enough for now-<br><br>Time on the boat was amazing ...

Having not yet seen a single Koala, Kankaroo, Wallabie, Cassowary, Dingoe, or local wildlife, we thought it best to see them all in one spot :)<br><br>A great little zoo with shows going all day in different exhibits and a HUGE kangaroo enclosure that you can enter to feed and walk around with them!<br>

... was Daintree river, famous for the crocodiles living in it. As opposed to a guided cruise we hired a small motor boat and four hours where looking for crocs ourselves. We searched the main stream as well as popped in at several creeks, but no success. Disappointed we grabbed fishing rods and tried our luck with the fish. Michal was the only one knowing what he was doing and indeed he caught a fairy big trevally we planned to have for dinner. Radko with ...

... years ago and went walkabout by himself in a van all over Australia. He was supposed to be gone for 6 months to a year and ended up gone for 3 years and finally landed himself in Cairns to get some roots....maybe me too? As you can see by the pics, we saw a bunch of waterfalls, rainforests and great landscapes as we were cruising around on "Gus", our van. You had to refer to the bus as Gus or incur the wrath of Cousin Kai. Funny ...

Day 68 Tuesay 10th March - Cairns Had a nice lay in as we didn't have to get up for work or anything it was bliss (apart from the fact that I had forgot to cancel my 6am alarm, no impressed lol). It was far too hot to sunbath or even think about being in the sun. They even have sunburn warnings that say things like "burn time 6 minutes" so you know how hot it is. Sam had done a lot of research into the road trip we are planning to do and has found the ...
