8th January - Mission Beach

---

Hey! Today we arrived in Mission Beach, 2 hours south of Cairns, on the first leg of our Greyhound bus journey across Oz! Hostel was awful - we had some unwanted visitors (cockroaches and geckos!) walked to Wongaling Beach (not that impressive so we can't remember how to spell the name of it!) Friendly bus driver took us in to the town so we could get something to eat, he suggested several good places however we only made it to one, Coconutz, as it decided to throw it down - our first experience of the Wet Season! Off to Airlie Beach tomorrow which we've heard lots of good things about....

hope all's ok xx
