Up really early this morning wanting to get back on the road for another stupidly long drive. This time we managed to cover the Sarina stretch which is basically 4 hours of nothingness. Loads of police out today pulling people for speeding, so had to be extra careful on the roads - dont want another fine to pay! After driving for 10 hours, covering 850km and just about half way to Sydney we decided to call it a day and set up for the night in a caravan park...

Said a big goodbye to Charlie this morning as we left Cairns. To say we were only supposed to stay together for a couple of days, we havent done too bad for a month! We'll be seeing her again in NZ though no doubt. After a long wait at the rental company we were finally shown to our new home for the next 6 days, a Hi-Top campervan. Pretty cool!

The girls said they would think about it - fingers crossed! Again had another quiet evening back in the cabin, still recovering from the night before. At about 8pm we then got the phone call we wanted, Frank was leaving us! After abit of negotiating we have sold him for $2300,...

We got a phone call this morning about the car! 3 Irish girls had a look at him and are interested in buying him which sounds quite promising, Had a very long afternoon and all 3 f us were really bored today so spent a few hours looking round charity shops to see if we could find board games. In the evening we met up with a Scottish group we had become friends with over the last few days and they introduced us to a drinking game called the 'Pyramid of Death'. ...
