Ok so before leaving Cape Tribulation, we thought it only right that we saw the amazing views of the rainforest on the beach from the sea in the most fitting way possible - Sea Kayaking! This seemed like a very good idea when we booked it - how hard can it be right?!Well, it started to get interesting when there was an odd number of people and so either Me, Naomi or Lucy would have to Kayak alone... that would be me then!! The 19 year old guide, Jack, assured me...

After the excitment of the Whitsundays our next task was to find a fun location to celebrate Louise turning 1/4 century. Our first idea was to go to the full moon party at Magnetic Island but unfortunately we'd left it a bit late and Townsville wasn't as lively as expected.

With an idiot proof demo we were ready pretty quic...

We had a really good evening and then Naomi, Louise and I called it a night while lucy continued on to the local club. The following day we spent the morning by the lagoon again before heading over to an area called Redcliffe to meet Naomi's Dad's cousin (think that's right) and his family. On the wa...
