Last night was the coldest night ever!! We were so cold in the tent that first thing in the morning we decided to move on, hopefully somewhere warmer! We had just one last stop in the Tablelands, a crater, that was formed when a nearby volcano expelled some gas or something like that - it was basically just a big hole! Claire wanted to throw something in the hole like a stick or a rock, but a little boy next to us got a lecture from his mum about how people shou...

After drying our tent with some toilet roll we packed up and set off to our next stop. First we had to stop at a chemist to some brown liquid that will apparently kill whatever it is that is growing in Dave's foot, some kind of Coral from Malaysia we think. We decided to leave the coast and head inland a bit to a small town called Atherton. The drive took us through hills and over amazing landcapes. We stopped at 3 waterfalls on the way including the Millaa Milla...

Unfortunatley it rained most of the night, but our tent didn't leak which was a good thing. We booked onto a croc spotting tour for this evening and spent the afternoon doing nothing. Normally from our experiances with most wildlife and tour guides in Oz, they tend to be loud, motivated fun, Steve Irwin wannabes. Our croc spotter was more like an accountant, he just seemed uninterested. We boarded his boat/bus type thing and we were the only guys there. First o...

Up nice and early after our early night and we made our way to Wallaman Falls in the Girringun National Park. It was long windy clay road up a rainforest covered mountain and Frank wasn't too keen on it. He got us there eventually and we saw the magnificent falls. It was huge at 268 metres high! There were a lot clouds setting in but we still got a good view of the falls and it gave us a very good excuse not to do the 2 hour walk to the bottom of them! We had ...

Woke up at 9 to horrible hangovers and tastes of Garlic Chicken balls. Once ready we went into town to pick up Ella, a girl we had met on the boat who we were giving a lift to Townsville. It was only about a 4 hour drive and the highlight was the big mango. We dropped Ella off at the harbour so she could catch her boat to Magnetic island, whilst we found our way to a rather dissapointing campsite on the edge of town. Dave put up the tent whilst the Claire and ...
