Currently sat in cairns airport waiting to board our flight back to Sydney. We have travelled well over 2000 miles in 35 days now we are about to fly back the same distance in 3! We were allowed to take water and aerosols through check in which was different but dint know wether it's a good or bad thing. Hopefully they will also give our pass ports a quick look before we get on the plane. Had a quick trip to some cascades today (big stream but not rapids) was nic...

So we made it to cairns been a very long month we have covered so much ground and experienced so many things! Although we are at our destination we have a couple of days left with the van before we give it back! I like cairns it's very laid back not to busy but also nit to dead which is hard to find in this country. Today we chilled out near man made lagoon and caught a few rays ending. Yesterday we went on a little White water rafting adventure which we both rea...

The little town is right next the beach with loads of tre...

We actually missed the tour but sweet talked them into letting us taste the diff...

We have finally escaped townsville and hopefully escaped the armpit of Australia too! Haha. I must have been allergic because i have caught a cold which I am fighting hard against before another trip to the reef up in cairns! The picture is from mission beach which is in all the travel mags as the place to go but as you can see the devastation from the last cyclone has destroyed the land and the moral! Anyway we have found a nice caravan park just a bit further n...
