Cairns - Waterfalls The day after our dive trip we met up with Sophie and Holly who we had been living with in Perth, who were also in Cairns. We rented a car and headed out to the rainforests around Cairns. There are literally hundreds of waterfalls in the surrounding area so we spent the day touring around the different falls. They were spectacular! We even visited Milla Milla Falls which is where the herbal essences advert is filmed, it is also where Peter An...

Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef After an amazing time living and working in Perth it is time to move on once again. Perth was the last place i will work in Australia, from now on it's just non stop travel for around 8 months! I can't wait!

Our first stop was Cairns, where we booked on to a 3 day 2 night live-aboard dive trip on the...

The roads were basic and very hilly, so it was a bit of a workout an...

But i was also quite glad that my trip wasn't over yet, i didn't feel like i was finished exploring the world quite yet! So another year of adventure it is and on to Perth! The West coast of Australia has varied weathe...
