Dew the dew! One of my favourite excursions on this whole trip was that 13Km trip down the Tully River. I didn't talk about it too much, but the scenery was simply spectacular. It was like being in a movie that had scenes in a tropical rainforest.
The wines are really nice I'm going on a wine tour today and going to take a lot of photos. I'm behind on my posting, so I'll be writing up a bunch of stuff hopefully later today.
Speechless, yet again. This looked like a Mountain Dew commercial. Truly Extreme. Your Got Soaked Pic is great cause you are the only guy looking at the camera, aside from the instructor. The waterfall looks so refreshing.
holy fuck! I totally agree with Wheels....my heart was pumping with your description. I was eating grapes in front of my computer screen as if eating popcorn while watching an amazing action movie in the cinemas. Very good, I want to hear about it in person though.
Fucking intense Jake. How many drops of pee came out? Be honest...
Vineyards I'm going on Tuesday, it's a tour of several different vineyards with tasting and meals included. They drink a lot of sparkling wine here also and they are very refined actually. It easy to detect wild fruit and berry flavours in the bouquet and they are even more pronounced on the palette. My favourite so far has had lychee flavours, very exotic. You should see how inexpensive Wolf Blass wines are here, it’s ridiculous. You can get a good bottle of Shiraz for next to nothing, but I’ve been more into the whites because when it’s 30*C nothing cools you down better than a nice Riesling or Semillon Blanc. Cheers.
Thanks Tivie I really appreciate the comment, it's nice to hear that I'm able to explain what I experienced and have you understand the feeling. The great barrier reef may be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in nature and I think that anyone who experiences it must feel the same way. Can't wait to see you at Christmas! Love Jake.
so happy Jakob and Nick, I am so happy for both of you and that you are both expearicing this aventure together. I am just loving coming home and reading your blogs that make me laugh so hard and then today was the day you got me. Just looking at these pictures i had tears in my eyes, from the beauty and trying to imagine the feeling that you must have had just seeing all this. Enjoy the rest of your holiday and know that I am so happy for you. One of my favorite picture is the one of you and the kangaroo that is so priceless.
Love you lots
You would love the rafting! I know that you would have probably come close to death during the trip because you would have tried to wrestle a crocodile or kill a snake with your teeth. I almost got stung by a werid fish today and the guide told me I would have cried if had got me. Australia has the deadliest wildlife in the world, everything here hurts you.
I needed your help. I needed an engineer to help me choose the proper binding medium with a good modulus strength and high melting point...I don't know if that makes sense but it sounds good. By the way, I kicked ass at the science fair in elementary school, but my dad always helped me cheat!
When are we going together mom? For your birthday I'm going to take you sky-diving so start praying that the parachute opens now! You think I'm insane don't you?
Go sky-diving! It was seriously one of the most amazing things I have ever done and I would suggest it for anyone who has a healthy heart. You have to bring your own diaper though, in your case an adult sized one.
hey Jordan Nick and I went river fishing today and didn't catch too much, but Nick did catch a Baramundi which was 80cm long and weighed about 6kilos, they measure everything in metric here. It jumped about three feet out of the water. I caught a flathead, which looks really weird but apparently tastes really good. I'll post some pictures later. I don't think they fish a lot of tarpon here, but I'll look into it. Talk to you later bud.
Tarpon hey jake its Jordan and I just wanted to say if their tarpon in Australia you should go and fish for them since they fight like crazy and like jump and everything
WOW Very impressive men. From the description it's almost like I went sky-diving with you guys. Keep up the intense adventure and I look forward to hearing all about the rest of it. Cheers
Jake Myth #1 I can so swim! I usually just pretend I can't so I don't have to go into the water. I always make exceptions for oceans, I swam all the time in Brazil. I only like swimming in salt water, it's easier because there is more buoyancy!
I'm a 23 year old crocodile hunter from Canada. I travel the outback in search of the elusive spotted dingo...it's my job to pick up the poop it leaves. Not to worry mate, I use the inside out ziplock bag method. It works most of the time.... full info
