We stayed in Kroombert cattle station for only 1 night and half a day but what a wicked time we had. Basically your smack bang in the middle of the countryside, and your given a taster for life as a cowgirl .... right up my street. We arrived in the night so after something to eat we were giving a demonstation on how to break the sound barrier. Whip cracking. It looked really easy..but I still have the whip marks on me now to show its not that simple. However I...

Whitsudays Rocks. Arrived in Airlie the 28th party place of oz and the gateway to Whitsundays. The now trio (hannikins has joined us for a couple of weeks in oz and Fuji, woo, woo!) crazily booked onto a boat called 'spank me!" for 3 nights to travel the Whitsundays.

Are hostel was right on the beach...love it!!! However, 2 nights in Maggie was enough because there is nothing to do there apart from soak up the s...

The first day we got to ride the elephants which was really cool. After t...

Change of plans. Due to the bad weather are plans to go north to laze about on some of Cairns top beaches had to be put on hold for another Oz trip. So referring to the bible....the lonely planet oz book we decided to head in land for a bit to the rainforest. A little place called Kuranda only an hr away from Cairns but it seemed like hundreds of miles away. (Totally different to Cairns) As soon as we got on the banger banger Johns bus to Kuranda...
