Hello! We went on the Greyhound bus for the last time on Saturday (yay!!) as we travelled from Mission Beach up to Cairns which is as far North as we are going. After not being particularly excited about Cairns I have been nicely suprised. Its a really nice city and we've had a fantastic time, with a few scary moments which ill tell you about in a bit! As we've not had too much to sort out here its felt more relaxed, like we're properly on holiday and its reall...

We have just come up here for 2 nights as we wanted to visit Dunk island which we went to today. Its a fairly small Island just off Mission Beach.

The trip was really good fun although we did have a few hiccups along the way such as getting the car stuck in sand in the boling heat and managing to roll into the back of anot...

Crikey!! (Australia Zoo day!!) We are currently staying in a little town called Caloundra just north of Brisbane. Theres not a lot cracking off but we wanted to stay somewhere near Australia Zoo so here we are! We got the 'Australia Zoo bus' down the appropriately named 'Steve Irwin way' and arrived at the zoo in the morning.
