Cairns

---

We arrived in Cairns after our mini outback adventure late in the afternoon and picked up some supplies. We were uninterested in staying the centre of Cairns and so instead drove north to Ellis Beach where we were able to take our van down onto the sand. The evening was spent similar to many of the previous ones: we made ourselves a rather large fire, enjoyed a barbecue style dinner, consumed some light, crisp cold ones and all of this whilst watching the ocean.

We awoke the next moring to blazing sunshine and spent a few hours on a nearby beach before heading into the city centre. The first stop was the "Wicked Campervan" office where we seriously took advanatage of the free internet and showers. We eventually made it into central Cairns in the afternoon and spent a few hours walking around. There really wasn't much to see and so after a cold pint and McDonalds ice cream we headed back north to Ellis Beach as we had enjoyed the previous nights beach camping so much!
