On way back down to Cairns we stopped off at a place called 'Mossmans Gorge' which was a nice setting with some rockpools etc flowing down some rapids. Once back in Cairns we treated ourselves to a Mcdonalds for Dinner (living the life of luxury here!!) and then went for a few beers in PJ O'Briens (Irish Pub, surprise surprise!). Slept in Esplandae car park only to be woken up by a tap on window in morning by council parking inspector telling us we cannot sleep h...

Had a shower on the beach shower along the seafront esplanade with shampoo bottle in hand, whilst everyone else was walking or jogging past!!!! Got some funny looks Im...

We rang advert and still for sale (which was good news since a number of other occasions we had rung and already sold vehicle). Couple germans were selling car and we arra...
