Cairns, Australian Capital Territory
Since I only had a few days left before I was due to fly to Cairns, and I had pretty much done all there is to see and do in Sydney, I decided to catch the train to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. (You may recognise them from a music video by The Darkness). Loads of companies offer shuttle bus tours, mostly for just one day, but after some investigation I decided it would be cheaper and actually easier if I did it by myself. The train journey was ok, I slept most...
