Hey! So we left Cairns on Steve's birthday and flew 2hrs15mins to Alice Springs (yes it doesn't look that far but Australia is BIG!)! We checked into our hostel and then went to a Joey sanctuary where a man rescues joeys from kangaroos that are killed on ther road. The baby often survives the hit and people don't always stop and check if there is a joey inside the mothers pouch. We got to hold them in pillow cases which was really cute! The next day we s...

Hey! So we got back to Cairns after our trip to the rainforest and the next day we got up and did the SKY DIVE!! You've probably already seen the videos and pics (if you haven't go to the message board and click the link)! It was so amazing but over so quickyly.

We found an amazing shop (well we thought it was anyway) which sold loads of Surf Lifesaving Australia merchandise! I bought a really nic...

Hey! So we arrived in Townsville a bit late and hung around for the ferry. We finally got onto Magnetic Island at 4.15! Partly because we couldn't be bothered to carry our bags and partly for style reasons we hired a tropical topless car for the 3 days we were on the island! They are little cars with no roof - very cool! So we loaded up our stuff, signed our lives away and headed off into the sunset. Within minutes we had driven the length of the island to o...
