S: So we drove to Airlie Beach but we had heard that if you stay on the road there it was an instant $500 fine. So we headed back inland and ended up parking in a car park behind some shops. Not probably the most exotic place to park but it did the job and we actually slept very well, until the butchers woke us up at 5am lol. We headed to the port and got onto the Derwent Hunter, a 90ft schooner boat, which was first used for exploring by scientists and then fin...

S: We had made a plan to visit two places today and knew there was a bit of a drive. We first visited Wallamans Falls; it is the largest, permanent, single drop waterfall in Australia. Well we didn't know what to expect but we were in for a treat, it was huge to start with and as the water struck the rocks below it created a vapour, and we could see the colours of the rainbow. It was breath taking, well worth the drive here. As we stood there admiring it, there ...

But I did get to try the new Guinness World Records hottest chilli in the world which was the Carolina Reaper at 1.6 million on the scoville scale. It had a good kick and I enjoyed it, but the girls wouldn't go near it. We nex...

J: In the morning I woke and as usual I had to wake the girls up, apparently I wake up too early as they were all moaning, I left them to wake up gradually, while I had a strip wash in the public toilet, at least I was the clean one. Once they were all revived with tea we made a visit to Mossman Gorge, it was a natural fresh water spring in the mountain which made a beautiful river. It was FREEZING cold but we couldn't resist a quick dip in it, even though all t...
