Hello All!

Well we are back in perth now (sadly!). We decided to go off to Cairns where we spent 4nights, it was amazin! We went snorkelling and scuba diving in the great barrier reef, and was one of the best experiences in our lives! We even saw real nemos, and a scary sting ray and alot of other things 2! After Cairns we jumped on to the Oz Experience bus and headed down 2 Mission beach! Before we got 2 Mission beach we stopped off at a croc farm the ppl that worked there were bloody mad! there are sum pics up of it! Also on this bus journey we learnt ALOT about sugar cane! it was like being back at school! the driver who was informing us about the 'second tallest grass in the world, bamboo being first' drove us all to insanity!

We had 2 nights at Mission, it was a fantastic place 2just do nothing! was great we had 3days on a beach doing nothin! Didnt fancy the skydiving when we were there but Trina has decided she does want to do it! Even tho we kno she doesnt like heights! Any how mission beach was lush!

After mission beach we headed to Townsville where we jumped on a ferry and set sail to magnetic island where we stayed for 3nights!

Magnetic Island was fantastic! There wasnt alot to do here either apart from sit on the beach! was such a hard trip! We did do some snorkelling tho but trina got bored after about 5mins so let mat play in the sea on his own! We did head off to the koala sanctury tho! Trina held a koala and they truly do stink! it even had a poo but it missed the clothing thank the lord! It was at magnetic island we had the misfortune 2meet the weirdest ppl ever! These 2guys were MAD! all we know is 1 was called "red bum"! was very funny tho!

Once we left Magnetic Island we headed off to Airlie Beach, sadly as we were runnin low on cash n had 2buy flights we onli had 1night in airlie! We will b headin back tho to sail the whitsundays later in the year! So onli 1night but it was good! We sat down at the beach for the evening n there was sum guy there playin his guitar n havin a sing song he realli shud b on australian idol as he was very gud! There were also 2nutters on the beach throwin fire round, poi as mat told me its called! they truly were mad tho!

Once we left Airlie we went to Rockhampton! Now Rockhampton is the meat capital of australia! Very intresting! on each bus journey we get told about all the towns we go through! its really amazing! hhhhhmmmmm Yea so we got off in the meat capital of australia! It was like a hilly billy town! was so funny tho! They had statues of bulls everywhere! the even had a metal pole through the bulls balls because when they werent there the local vandals kept smashin the balls off the poor bull! was highly amusin! So Trina had 2get a pic wiv 1 but it was 2tall 4her 2climb on and sit on otherwise she wud have!

And now we are back in perth 2earn a few pennies so we can head back out that way! we are half way down the east coast now so no too much further 2do wen we go back! Definatley looking forward 2it!
