here I am in Cairns after 14 days on the road from Sydney. It has been amazing trip ranging from beaches, to islands, to rainforests, to cattle station, to sailing, partying and dancing on tables....etc etc ;)
I hope to recount the days in this blog some time soon. In the meantime, from Cairns I went further up north to Cape Tribulation and yesterday dived and snorkelled in the Great Barried Reef, amazing!! :) Today is my last day in Cairns and not doing much except catching up with some sleep, laundry, shopping and well, my blog and email!! Tomorrow, I fly out to Alice Springs and on Saturday start my second trip with Adventure Tours Australia; all the way from Ayres Rock to Darwin. In other words going from ocean and rainforests to desert and then more rainforest .... UUuuuu..so excited!!! :) Lots of new things and people.
We were a great bunch on this East Coast trip. I'll miss them all :( Not to mention our Aussie leader, Beaver ;)
Oh, and I'll be missing the daily Aussie mantras too!! Beaver made us listen to the typical Aussie folk songs the minute we jumped on 'Brian the Bus' first thing in the morning. He made sure we learnt them off by heart and ensured that we knew that we 'were welcome in Australia' and that we 'might accidently get killed!'...by blue ray, stinger, shark, etc etc...
Luckily, nothing of the sort got us, but we did see some playful whales and huge turtles on our sailing trip around the Whitsunday Islands. Not to mention, lizards, crocs, emu, cassawarries, dingoes, emu on the Croc farm just off Cairns and of course, kangaroos, both alive and roadkill(ed) along the long Aussie highways! And also got to mingle with goats, horses, cows, kakadus, peacocks on the cattle station in the middle of Queensland.
HAPPY DAYS everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miss you all & love you all
Nicky
