La Plagne Reunion It was poor timing on our behalf when we arrived in Balladean to visit Dylan and Sarala. They had one more day of work after an extremely busy Easter weekend working as new managers at Mason's winery. They had landed themselves a sweet deal running all areas of this nice building in a beautiful location. It was so good to see them, but felt weird not to be in the snow! On our arrival we took Monica to a barn near D&S's new shared house....

We said goodbye to the town of Einasleigh and had a looong drive back down towards Brisbane. We wanted to take the outback route and saw lots of wildlife along the way, unfortunately we smelt a lot of decomposing wildlife by the side of the road. There wasn't much to see as such along the way but that was the beauty of driving in the outback, just a lot of nothing! The small towns we happened to drive through were about the size of Einasleigh and it would've b...

We stayed for the night by Lake Tinaroo and became waterfall junkies. We saw five waterfalls in the space of two days and went for what can only be described as a refreshing dip in Millaa Millaa Falls, one of the coldest ones. James also swam in Lake Eacham, I paddled and took photos. It is a stunning lake and the water was quit...

Cairns is a great city, we went to the lagoon in the morning, walked around the botanical gardens in the afternoon and the night market in the evening. Our campsite was pretty rough for a paid site and James took it upon himself to be the security when a few campers were playing music very loud until very late. We were surprised that James was the only person to ask them to turn the music down when we were a few rows away and there were families with young chi...
