This was one of our funniest stop up the east coast. We stopped at a cattle station in the outback. There we learnt to lasso goats, crack a whip and ride the bull!! (Mechanical one...) That was hilarious and we will upload a video or two for you guys to watch. Anika managed to bruise the INSIDE of her leg (???) whilst riding the bull!! Nish couldn't even get on the damn thing (she did in the end) Was really fun, especially the dodgy games we played late at night with our coach pals (again, see videos)
On the 19th we arrived at Airlie beach only to discover our trip to the whitsundays on the 20th for 3 days, had been cancelled!!! (boat mechanical problems). Luckily we sorted out two separate day trips instead. The first trip took us to Knuckle reef where we did snorkelling and scuba diving. We also went on a glass bottom boat. It was fun and the food on the boat was great!! The second trip we went on a sail boat and went to white haven beach- absolutely beautiful beach. We were both disappointed with the coral in this area though. (see pictures, once we upload them!)
We then travelled via townsville to Cairns. On the way there we stopped at a croc farm. That was so cool. We held a croc and watched them being fed! We also fed the kangaroos. Once in Cairns we spent christmas eve with our coach drivers Hoops and Roach (Really nice girls) in the Woolshed. Was a really fun night- see pics! On christmas day, we went to the great barrier reef and we were both amazed by the beauty of the coral and whilst snorkelling a shark swam past us!!! (a baby one) It was really wierd to be celebrating christmas on a boat in the boiling heat! In the evening, instaed of a turkey with all the trimmings.... we had an indian!! (it was good though!)
