Hey! We wanted to do this in a separate entry so we got to have Western Australia on our list. This means we have been to all of the states in Australia except Tasmani and South Australia (I've already been to Tasmani though!) So we left Alice Springs and flew to Perth. It took around 3 hours! We then waited in the airport and did a bit of shopping until our flight to Singapore at 15.30! Here's a fascinating fact for you - Perth is closer to Singapore t...

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.

Hey! So we arrived in Cairns about 1.30pm and checked into our hostel! We then went for a walk and had a look at other hostels to stay when we get back from Cape Tribulation! Then we found the lagoon and chilled by that for a bit - it strated to get a bit windy though so we went into Piers Mall for a bit of retail therapy! We found an amazing shop (well we thought it was anyway) which sold loads of Surf Lifesaving Australia merchandise! I bought a really nic...
