Hello everyone it has officially been a week since our last update so this one might be quite big. We have been super busy and are absolutely loving Cairns! Day 74 So we landed in Cairns at ridiculous o'clock in the morning after our flight was delayed for 3 hours due to the lack opf air traffic controllers and then the airline forgetting to load our bags on! We managed to find an awesome hostel though called tropic days - it's only 3 people to a dorm which is...

Hey again from us for the last time in Western Australia......boo. Doesn't matter as the next stop is Cairns & everything South of there!!! Cant wait. So the last entry told of the disappointment of the cider factory being closed & the fact that we ate kangaroo & enjoyed it a bit too much. If I get bitten by a roo at the zoo, it'll be justified. Day 70: This morning we had to hang around in Bunbury as we had left the diary at Nick & Helen's. We...

Today we drove into town to get some grub & more importantly, check out the tattoo shop to see if they could fit us in. Unfortunately we had been drinking last night so any chance of a good result today was slim so we decided to wait until we ...

Hey everyone, as you can see by the location we have started the journey back towards Perth. Hope everyone at home is well & the Dad's enjoyed their Father's Days. Sorry we didnt text or call, we had no signal on the phones all over the weekend & a bit after. So the next entry covers a lot of towns & places but we have a blog entry for most of them already so just using Carnarvon as a general title. Here goes!! Day 62: We drove on South this morni...
