Well today was an action packed day en route to Cairnes. The long drive was nicely broken up by lots of stops. We stopped at couple of nice look out points, one of which was Millaa Millaa Waterfall which as the name suggess, a waterfall, if you've seen one and all that... We also stopped off at a crocodile farm which was much more exciting. Cate kissed a baby aligator. We also played with a few Kangaroos and stuff. saw some big big crocs, and emus and all kinds ...

From Brisbane we went on to Hervey Bay, which was just a stop off before we went to Fraser Isalnd on a 2 day safari!! Once getting to the island (a big sand island) we travelled on a big 4 by 4 bus. All the roads were sand! We visited some amazing places on the island, Pile Valley, a sub-tropical rainforest. Eli Creek, which Andy and I floated down, even though it was absolutely freezing! The water was so clear, it was beautiful! Lake Wabby, and the hude...
