Hi, we have made it to Mission beach and its lovely and sunny. Apparently its the first sunshine they have had in about 3 months so everyone seems to like us for bringing the sun with us. The hostel is so cool, it is in a treehouse and has lots of board games and comfy sofas so we're probably going to stay in tonight and try and cook! thanks for all the messages love Charlie, Cat and Lizzy

Hi, we made it to Cairns! only here for 14 hours and is a bit of a dump (hence the picture of the reef, apparently cairns isn't worthy of a postcard according to this site) but does have very nice ice cream! think we have finally sorted out buses so will hopefully get the 9am bus to mission beach!
