On the road again...

Left Beth’s this morning after breakfast, sad to leave after being looked after so well, just like staying at your Nan’s! We then briefly stopped off in Townsville to pick up some things, before hitting the road and continuing south. We didn’t make it far though opting to stay in a free...

The lovely Townsville

Completely cleaned out the van this morning and did a lot of re-organising and it now looks as good as new, before Beth took us out to check out Townsville. First stop was to Castle Hill and we took the easy option of driving up trying to avoid hitting the masses of locals on a keep fit regime...

Off to Beth's...

Didn’t do anything too strenuous today, went to MacDonald’s to take advantage of their free Wi-Fi and managed to book our New Zealand- Fiji flights which we found for a bargain! Then made a quick stop off at Mission Beach, but too many stingers for a swim and then drove to Townsville and...

Trains and Sky rails

We left the campsite first thing this morning and drove to Freshwater Railway Station to go on the scenic train journey up to Kuranda. It was a nice journey on a really old train which lots of tight bends, tunnels and Bridges up the Mountainside. Once in Kuranda we...

Charlie's Restaurant

We drove up to Port Douglas and down the coast taking a look at some of the nice beaches along the way to Cairns. In Cairns we went for a nice swim at the huge free pool and chilled out there for a while before checking into a campsite in town. We then went for another swim in their swimming...

Turtle spotting

Had a nice day with not doing a great deal. In the morning we drove to Lake Eacham and did a little turtle spotting before going for a nice early morning swim for an hour. Then we made our way out of the Atherton Tablelands and headed North towards Port Douglas where we found a nice...

Well-hidden sunnies

We headed from our rest stop to Mount Isa to get fuel and go to the visitor’s info. After passing pretty cheap fuel on the outskirts we continued on thinking it would be the same, it wasn’t. We headed to visitor info and it wasn’t open so decided to head back out to the first fuel stop. ...

Lone pine koala sanctuary
