Sunday 4th - Tuesday 6th December I have just been on a two day sailing trip around the Whitsundays. The Boomerang boat was filled with about 28 people in I'd say quite a small cosy sailing boat. The boat was an open plan layout with bunk beds around the edge of the boat on the bottom deck with a kitchen and a table in the middle. The bunk beds were pretty difficult to get into and out of, I felt like I was sleeping in a cave, if I lifted my head I would smack...

Thursday 1st December After being in Cairns for 2 weeks, I was beginning to get a little bored so I decided to join my friend in his journey down the coast to Airlie Beach. He told me he was hitch hiking so I made an executive decision to go with him. I am aware of the risks of taking lifts from strangers, however, Australia is extremely laid back and I would know never to get in the car with a complete weirdo. All the lifts we got were from legit people and i...

Wednesday 30th November For about a week now everyone had been going on about how I must visit Baron Falls; I had never heard of it nor knew anything about it, but I took their word for it and a group of us (Me, Hannah, Kazz, Digby and Maggie) borrowed a car (off a friend) and went for the afternoon. I didn't know this at the time but Hannah had already been to the falls and took us the most dangerous way possible to get the best view! When we arrived we were...

Tuesday 29th November After not seeing any turtles when scuba diving in the Great Barrier reef, I decided to join a couple of friends and take a snorkelling trip to Green Island (where apparently there are LOADS of turtles to be seen). It was definitely worth a try and money worth spent as, yes I did see LOADS of turtles. We saw about 5 turtles and we were able to swim down and touch them. Kazz and I even had the pleasure of a guided tour around the turtle's h...

Sunday 27th November Road trip to Cape Tribulation!! Me and my friends hired a car and drove up to Cape Tribulation stopping at Port Douglas beach and Sunday markets. Me, Inge and Kirstie bought kind of matching anklets with bells on so everyone knows when we're coming! I was driving the first day and it was a beautiful scenic drive the whole way. We stopped at a gorgeous view point along the coast. Most of the drive was along the coast down windy roads amongs...
