Back to Cairns, and The Daintree

Our time in Cairns was a little reminiscent of our last time there, mostly because Nik had again got some unpleasant infection due to a bug bite, this time on his arm. So we spent a fair few hours at the 24 hour medical centre dealing with that. I'll spare you the details. But the main...

In Darwin for a few days

After spending the night in Fanny Bay we have booked a marina berth in Bayveiw Marina, the marina is 7 miles away and you have to navigate thru moorings and boats in the middle of the channels, to say that the waterways are a shit fight here is an understatement... there is no real structure...

WWOOFing Murray Falls - it's a long one!

Our time at Suzanne's farm could be summed up in the word 'Wonderful', but I'm sure you want some more details so, read on... The property was named Yabullum, which means - approximately - in the local Aboriginal language (each tribe has their own seperate language), 'the place that is never...

Mission Beach, briefly

Mission Beach was the first beach I've seen (in daylight - we also went there for a night-time BBQ with the Tully hostel people) in Australia. It only took me a month! I'd got three days to kill before Nik arrived from working in Tully (just 30 mins down the road), and I spent most of them...

Ingham WWOOF # 2

After leaving Alisha and Jay's, due to lack of work at their place, I went off to stay with one of Alisha's friends, Narelle, who lives with her husband and three at-home kids (3 boys, aged 3-16... horror!) on a 5 acre property about half an hour drive through the canefields outside Ingham. ...

WWOOFing

It was a bit hard to settle into my first 'real' WWOOF place at first - it wasn't quite what I'd been expecting, and the couple I was staying with also had a 6yr old who wasn't mentioned, for whatever reason, in their book entry. Argh! Child(ren)!!! Add that to the fact that I was staying in a...

Day 3... More Perth...

My third day in Perth and in the glamorous establishment above, and not a great deal was achieved during daylight hours. In the evening I had plans to meet Scotty, Junko, Damo and Naoko, so a mini Japan reunion and I was excited about that. Scotty called me to discuss meeting up about 3...
