... have died!) and turtles. We watched the fish being fed, the best was the fresh water bara, which leapt up out of the water and sucked the food out of the hand of the keeper, making a huge noise.<br><br>We also watched a film about the jelly fish... which scared me even more than I was already.<br><br>We grabbed a taxi back to the car garage and collected our camper van, complete with new battery. After finding a campsite, we walked along the sea front and had Fish and Chips by the sea.

... sizes, shapes and dispositions taking a constitutional brisk walk, jog or just plain meander. Tony was very patient (well fairly patient) whilst I took photo&#8217;s of all the arty things adorning the seafront in the Ephemeral Festival! One of arty things was a group of home made &#8216;stingers&#8217; hung in a tree, giving a positive spin to the jellyfish which inhabit the waters here whose stings are painful and can even be fatal. There are vinegar ...

... were OK. Luckily they were, so now I have just got to monitor my leg and if it gets any worse I&#8217;ve got to see another doctor. It is still very swollen and discoloured, but my gut feeling is that I have maybe got an infection after I grazed it on the volcanic rock at Undara. It was a very pathetic graze though, as grazes go. I am so glad it isn&#8217;t DVT as I would have been hospitalized and would have been on blood thinning drugs for at least 3 ...

Sorry it's been a while since I've blogged - been a few things happen - will go back over the days but basically our computer screen cracked and Ethan's been in hospital. Read previous days.... Today we had to move from our unpowered site - all that was available yesterday- to our powered site.Initially we were allocated one next to the main road in so organised to swap it but when we went to move someone else had djust moved in there and claimed that they were told that was there ...

... at the hotel where we had a nightcap. Not only was he a really good player but he was an okay singer and even took requestsso we had a good old sing along. The Reef Hotel had just been refurbed so our room was really nice and we had a wonderful view over the Coral Sea and, of course, the very low tide. A tip for the unwary if you are planning to stay here &#8211; check the tide before you make the booking, and pay the extra money for a room with an ocean view. All you will ...

... Tag begann **st um 2 Uhr nachmittags und endete relativ enttäuschend. Das Schiff war lange nicht so schön, wie die Kiana letztes Jahr, das Essen war katastrophal und letztendlich wurde uns auf dem Schiff vom Camping eh** abg**aten, da wir die einzigen in nur drei Zelten gewesen wären und das Resort mehr**e hund**t Met** von den Zelten entf**nt sei. Inzwischen war es auch stockdust** und wir hatten nur die Möglichkeit alleine mit ein** Taschenlampe üb** die Insel zu wand**n. Dass ...

More anon once we have had a chance to explore!<br> 11 June 2009  We have had a very pleasant week here in Townsville - the weather has been great with only one day where we had a shower despite the weather forecast!  <br><br>There is a fabulous walk along the front called The Strand.  It is full of brilliant family ...

... about various animals and found it really interesting, especially andy who was hanging off every word and completely mesmorised by all the animals. We got the oppertunity to hold a koala which we couldnt leave Oz without doing. She was called Bindi and woke up for just long enough for us to get a picture. As andrew went to take her from the keeper, she stared andrew ...
