Arrived to a warm Cairns on Thursday evening having left Mission Beach just a few hours earlier. We checked in at the Waterfront hostel and went straight to the Woolshed Bar & Grill for some food. We chilled at the hostel for the remainder of the night feeling tired from the early morning start we had for white water rafting. With decision time on my mind I didn't have the best of nights sleep but I woke up aiming to sort it out. I spent most of the day pon...

We arrived at Mission Beach on Monday afternoon at 3.45pm where we did a bit of food shopping before checking into the family run hostel we had booked. The owners knew we were there for the white water rafting and skydive like the majority of people who come to visit Mission Beach.

We boarded the ferry around 1pm which took us ov...

Still feeling a little ropey and tired from the previous night we made our way down to the ...

The marathon journey from Kroombit to Airlie Beach started at 7am after not much sleep and breakfast on the ranch. We changed buses at Rockhampton again and made our way up the east coast. The journey wasn't as bad as I was expecting and we made it to Airlie Beach just after 5pm. The people on the bus were meeting in one of the bars at 7.30pm so we checked in at our hostel, grabbed a shower and made our way to the bar. We were only intending on having a few dri...
