The final 2 days in Cairns were a blast.
On Monday we went white water rafting down the Tully River in northern Queensland. It was my first time doing it and it went alot better than I thought. I definitely would do it again in a hearbeat!
We mainly were in grade 2 & 3 rapids (the highest being 4) down the river and ended right before the area of the river the crocodiles inhabit. We got to swim down a grade 2 current which was kinda scary. It was hard to breate and there were constantly rapids coming. We also got to slide down a rock and go down a waterfall.
Today we went up to the Daintree Rainforest and the village of Cape Tribulation. The rainforest was not what I was expecting and was actually kinda boring. It was just alot of trees and not much wildlife, like I was expecting.
We also stopped at a wildlife zoo where we saw crocodiles, a bunch of different birds, and got to pet a very friendly kangaroo! I'm surprised we made it home safely though as our driver, Coral, was out of control. We were pretty much on 2 wheels for half of the turns down the mountain, and it was mainly all turns.
We are off for Brisbane at 6AM so tomorrow should be a long day. We don't really have any plans yet for our 2 days in Brisbane but will hit up a rugby or soccer game if available!
