Riiiiiiight, so let me dust out the cobwebs in my brain and rack through my memory to when we left Airlie Beach, that wonderful, scumptious place where I will always think of on a rainy Monday morning mid January! So, we now have a newby to Bianca, Jeremy, who we met on the Whitsunday's trip and who also happened to be heading down the coast to Rainbow Beach (our next destination). Vick and I do love seeing each other every minute of everyday, however it was a br...

We left Cairns on a high from finally getting to wiggle our toes in the sand. Little did we know that the best was yet to come! A six hour drive to Mission Beach was a pretty short drive to be honest. We are so used to driving extortionate distances a six hour drive is a little drive now. It still doesn't quite hit home that although we are on the last three pages of the map now it still takes six hours to drive a quarter of the page. Australia is BIG. Having he...

Bianca was there and waiting for us at the campavan pickup point and from there we set off...

Well, firstly I would like to apologise for the ultimate lack of blogging for the past month. As much as I would like to say it's not my fault, I have just been too lazy sunning myself...though to be fair in the outback there is no phone signal let alone no internet signal so my laziness has only just been the last few days! What a trip so far! Let me retrace my steps a bit and take you back to when we left Adelaide! The 19 hour coach really did feel like a 119 ...
