After Airlie Beach it was time to relax a little bit. First stop was Magnet Island, which is a small island off the coast of Townsville. The hostel there was right by the sea and most of the time was spent by pool, although I did trek across the island one day, which took all of 4 hours! After Magnet Island was another beachside hostel in Mission Beach. So more time reading, swimming and enjoying the sun.
Relaxtion over and time was to head to Cairns and the final part of my bus pass in Australia. Here I've caught up with a few people I have met on my travels north. I have just returned from diving off the Great Barrier Reef (Everything in Australia is titled 'Great'). The diving was great and got to see some reef sharks (not dangerous at all), turtles, stingrays and Nemo (or a True Clown Fish). I did a night dive for the first time. Diving a night is very strange as you can only see as far as the torch and most of the fish are asleep or hiding from sharks! Now returned to Cairns from a couple of days at sea and will be heading to a few places around Cairns for the next week. ONLY 1 WEEK LEFT IN AUSTRALIA!!!
