OUR LAST DAY IN AUSTRALIA :( Very sad indeed, nevertheless we made the most of it, of course. We got up reletively early and caught a bus to Kuranda; a small town outside of Cairns with a large aboriginal community. We saw Will and Catherine on the bus and started the windy journey up the mountain! We finally arrived and were quite lucky as there was an Aboriginal festival on celebrating their culture. We took a walk round the town checking out all the little sou...

We had a super early start today for our day trip up to Cape Tribulation. We checked out of Bohemia and got picked up at 0750. Ironically the Aussie girls (Jess, Liz and Zoe who we met in Maggie) were on the bus too! The journey was quite a way (as always in Australia!) but at least the drive was quite pleasant; very scenic, along the coast. So, our first stop was a cruise down the Daintree River to see crocs and we did! We saw wild crocs which was really cool, o...

WOOHOO! Guess what I did today...?! A SKYDIVE! Yup, I threw myself out of a plane from 14,000 ft and it was absolutely bloody amazing.

Today was a really chilled day. We had a little ly in before making our way into Cairns to check it out. Everyone had prepared us for an awful, touristy, hole but it really isn't! OK, there are lots of tourist shops and obivously a lot of travellers but there are also some lovely restaurants by the lagoon, which is also nice (a lot nicer than Airlie's!) The beach obviously isn't great but thats what the lagoon's for! So we walked around, taking it all in; we visi...

AARRGGHH!!! I DID A BUNGY JUMP!!! Oh my goodness it was crazy!!! Today started off a another normal day on the Oz Bus; we left Mission Beach at about 8 this morning and headed towards a crocodile farm. This place was seriously cool. The dudes were feeding them real close and we were about a metre away from them! The were really sleepy but when the guy got the chicken out they were snapping away! We got to feel one too and they feel just like they look; all hard a...
