Cairns Lodges - Reviews and Rates

Had a fun time in Cairns. Zoo at the top of a casino? You're kidding. So I held a Koala for the first time. Cute, sweet, cuddly little thing. Following day we took a skyway (kind of like a ski lift) up into the rain forest. It was beautiful. Took a train to get down, and then went straight to the airport to fly on to Darwin and start our week dr...

Sydney - what an awesome city. Character screaming out at you. It's like London in the sun. A fair bit smaller though and with beaches and a far more laidback feel. So it's nothing like London at all then. But we enjoy it immensely. We stay with Kates pal Fee and her boyfriend Jez for a week and spend lots of time catching up with helen. Thanks ...

Breakfast was a trifle sticky. Don't know why I said that, but it sounded good. It was sticky, though: humid and hot at 8am. Lovely. As we perfected in Mt Isa, we royally raped breakfast. $4 for coffee and toast, so we had 2coffees, 6slices of toast each, fruit juice, and some fresh fruit. We then checked out the pristine beach, which would have...

Spent 2 days in Perth city, shopping for a tent (in fact bought 2 tents as the first one was not big enough and we did not have time to return it). Hired car and headed South. After an hour out of Perth, near Williams town Andy was stopped for speeding and fined $50. He was driving at 119 km/ph. We thought the speed limit was 120km like everywhe...
