I woke up this morning a tad sun burnt and headed for a run along the beach (beautiful). Then it was packing mania before heading off to the mainland again. I was really sad to leave Maggive behind (hammock reading, beach running, locals chatting, wild drinking etc...) It truly was a fabulous, unique place. After the ferry back we got on the Oz Bus and headed towards Mission Beach. We stopped in Tully to see a giant Wellington Boot (these aussies...) and for a ra...

Surprise surprise I had another super chilled out day today before Izzy, Harry and Chris arrived down from Cairns. We all sat in the bar listening to the one man band and headed to bed. Wild.

:( Not a happy bunny. Alex and Naomi left this morning so it was all very sad! We've spent the last 3/4 weeks with them so it was weird to see them go.

When we got there we went on a bush walk with crazy Annie and saw wild Koalas and old-war-fort-thingies. She was also speaking to us about Aboriginees and the treatment o...
