Well our final week didn't go exactly to plan after what was without a doubt the most terrifying flight we've been on. When a drunken groups cheers for a little bit of turbulence turns into an eerie silence after what feels like the plane dropping a decent distance, its not an exageration to say our hearts skipped a beat - or ten Topping up the tan was a no go because the first few days in Townsville it was raining and then The Yongala Wreck dive (the only reas...
