Today was bloody awesome!! We woke up to bright sunshine and clear blue skies, the first we've had since arriving in Queensland. It was a picture postcard start to the day, and it lasted all of about 1 and a half hours before the grey clouds returned over the horizon, and the mood of the weather changed... Bummer!! It wasn't to last however, today we were in for a treat. Jo and I had already agreed to use some of the days we have in Port Douglas to clear some of...

Well, it's not called 'rainforest' for nothing... And it's not in an area known as the 'wet' tropics without good cause, so I suppose we shouldn't be too surprised that the rain came back. It started just as we began packing up this morning, and rained constantly, right up until... you guessed it, until we finished packing up. We drive off our site, and the rain stops...Typical!

We went to sleep last night listening to the rain on the caravan roof, which was really pleasant, but not so pleasant this morning, when we had to pack everything up in it. Todays drive from Charters Towers to Mission Beach was only 360km, and not a big day, and was mostly spent driving in the rain, so there'...

There nearly wasn't a blog today... I've been having difficulty accessing this site, and getting on the internet in general, which is most frustrating. But the main reason there nearly wasn't a blog, is because we just don't have much to share about today... The rain settled in from mid morning, and the fog moved in soon after, which really prevented us from doing or seeing much. We walked around town, and it really is a beautiful little town, with all it's orig...
