It rained all night and it rained all morning on Tuesday (glad we got of Fraser Island when we did!). We did our laundry, cleaned everything up and left at midday. Today was an exciting day for the lads as they bought themselves new tents! After several nights of waking up in puddles of water, I think they had enough and decided it was worth spending the money on a decent tent that they would stay dry in when it rained. $60 they got a 2 man pop-up tent ...

Sunday 9th was a fun filled day chilling in the morning before heading out to the town centre to watch the Iron Man. It was a great event and we ended up cheering the contestants on all afternoon. I admired every single competitor there, weather they were competing or simply doing it for a challenge because it's incredible to achieve something like this.

It was wet that day, so the m...

We headed to Port Douglas which was a very small, posh sophisticated village where not much was happening so we just had lunch, walked up and down the main street a...

So David picks me up at Monday afternoon and takes me to the kangaroo cliffs...beautiful place where you can rock climb right by the river, day or night. David was feeling rough and I was too so we weren't both quite ourselves; both tired and I was losing my voice. I ended up tagging along to his family meal of sushi and thai soup (both delicious) for his sisters 24th birthday. The family were all lovely. It was a nice chilled evening before we headed back ...
