Hey everyone! I haven't written for a while, so here's a brief run down of things i've been doing. On Monday I left Alice Springs and flew to Cairns, arrived here about 8pm on monday night and the guy on reception mentioned a pub on the corner of the road (literally 50yards away) so me and my 2 new room-mates (Chris and Quentin- he's french and very beautiful) went ofr a beer. It was a nice way to settle in. My hostel is really really lovely, very cosy, clean an...

We sat out under the stars in deck c...

Wow, so much to tell you and so little time to do it- $1 per 15 minutes is expensive! Ok so yesterday, on the excellent advice of a few people I got a grip and actually did something.
