We got up on Wednesday the 23rd and sorted our stuff out then, checked it into the storage blocks, grabbed lunch, pottered round town for a bit then headed to the harbour for 12:45. We waited for a little while in the undercover waiting area. Then a couple of girls came up and asked if we wanted to spank them, after considering it for a couple of seconds we realised it was a boat they were after called 'Spank Me', we shuck our heads and sent them on there way. Sh...

We headed next to Airlie Beach. We wanted to book a sailing tour when we got there so this was our mission when we arrived - to hunt down a good sailing trip. We popped into several agents but they all kept saying how busy the boats were at the moment. Apparently the 'schoolies' were all here meaning everything was busier then normal.

I (Rachel) did the map reading and took us to where the place was, but turned out I'd go...

We dismantled the tent and headed south along the coast until we reached a town called 'Innisfail'.

We then got back on the road and heade...

We checked out of the hostel on the Wednesday and headed to the Wicked car garage to get our car - 'Bix', a Holden Appollo Wagon. We had to wait a while for it to be sorted but they were changing the tyres and what not so we didn't complain! They'd even thrown in some mattresses and cool box and plates and cutlery! So quite a good deal. We then packed our things in and headed on the road towards Cape Tribulation. On the way stopped off at Port Douglas which was a...
