G'day all you lovely cold people at home,We're in Alice Springs and Chris says it really is a "bonza" town!Well, Tennant Creek turned out to be fun as we had a great day tour to the Devils Marbles. There were only 3 of us on the tour in total so it was really personal. We set off at 11am and stopped at Termite City on the way to the Marbles. There were approx 2000 termite mounds in the one area so it was pretty amazing! We then went to the Devil...

G'dayWe're in Tennant Creek and it's mighty hot. Today it got to 37c which is super super hot and to be honest hard to cope with. Well, we arrived at 4am this morning after leaving the horrible Mount Isa hospital behind. Seriously, that hostel was creepy, it was just like a hospital (long corridors, the toilets, even a bloody zimmer frame in the corridor - I think it was probably an old peoples home at one point.) Well, whatever it was I couldn't ...

Just a quick update on our travels! Well, yesterday we had a 6hour journey from Cairns to Townsville which was a bit of a killer but worth it.

We then walked back down and popped to the supermarket to stock up on supplies. We cooked faj...

Well, it's our last day in Cairns today which is sorta sad but we're also ready for the next place, Townsville. Yesterday was a good day spent on a tour of Cape Tribulation and Daintree. The only problem was that the average age on the bus was about 60 so we felt mega young and there were a few cringing moments but they were a nice bunch. There was only 20 of us in total so it was a personal trip. We visited Daintree national park, went for an hours cruis...

Well, yesterday snorkelling was fun. It started off being stupidly rocky as the sea was mega choppy, and it was pouring down, but we managed to survive. About 50% of the boat was sea sick and we were close at times but it was ok. When we arrived at our first location, Sandra reef, we went out for our first snorkel but it wasn't long before we were back on the boat. The waves we enormous and you know what strong swimmers we both are but even we felt outside ou...
