Up to Cairns

---

This morning, we got up at 4:30 to get a flight to Cairns. We (Jonathan and Adam) did home work for most of the flight. When we landed, we rented a car and headed to the nearest McDonalds to get on the internet and find a place to stay. An apartment in Palm Cove looked like a nice place to stay.


On the way to Palm Cove, we stopped at an Aboriginal Culture Centre. We learned abut their beliefs and traditions. They taught us a traditional dance and how to make fire with 2 sticks. We also learned how to throw a boomerang and throw a spear. Mom and Dad bought a Didgerie Doo (which we will play in class when we get back). A wise Aboriginal man taught us how to play the Didgerie Doo (which they call Yigi Yigi) and about the meaning of some of their paintings.

Palm Cove has a nice beach, but we can't go in the ocean because the net that protects the beach from Box Jellyfish is broken.
