Hey!! Ok, Kroombit cattle station! I am going to keep these short and sweet so I get through a 3 week backlog of blogging - sorry - I am just having too much fun! So we got out of Airlie Beach, with a 12 hour drive to get through. Several stops and a serious flood later and we got to Kroombit cattle station at 7pm - due to the flooding our small bus couldn't get through to the station so we all climbed onto the back of a muddy artic lorry with just wooden p...

Hello! Well, I last left you in Cairns, and we had just arrived, sussing out the place and getting to know the hostel way of life!
