3 Weeks too late?

---

Okay.......we we're going to fillout this travel blog as we travelled - but we have been having so much fun along the way that we have not wanted to go into internet cafes that often!!

Our travels so far have taken us from London to Brisbane to Hervey Bay to Bunderburg to Mackay to The Whitsundays to Ayr (diving the Yongala wreck) to Mission Beach and finally to Cairns & the Coral Sea / Barrier Reef. In our cruise control hire-car we drove 2,500km in total, which is a TINY bit of the big trip planned for next year!

Tomorrow we travel up to Cape Tribulation where the tropical rainforest meets the golden sand and azure sea (or so the brochure says). We're there for a couple of days of chilling on the beach & walking along the treetop boardwalks before heading back to Cairns & jet to Brisbane for our flight back to London. We've had a fantastic time so far & have taken hundreds of photos......a (large) selection of which are on this page.....hope you enjoy them.

See you all soon.

Photos

Brizzy City Beach
Brisbane is 25km upriver from the coast, so they thought they'd make a beach in the city centre!

Brizzy kangaroo
Cris was not scared at all. No seriously, he wasn't.

Brizzy psychoroo
This little guy decided to 'have a go' at Claire - no rabies though so the Roo should be fine ;-)

Brizzy koala
Some look really cute and others look like little old men......although they all seem to smell like little old women!!

Brizzy lizzy
This water lizard (and her horny mate) were lounging around under our dinner table one afternoon.

Brizzy wallababy
Like a little roo - but this one had an ikkle babby.

Brizzy Story Bridge
Drove over it a few times but this was taken on our day out on the river.

Brizzy Sign Post
It's a long way from here to everywhere else apparently!

Hinchinbrook Island
Mangrove swamps full of nastys - but look great from the top of a mountain.

Whitsundays
Tropical paradise type stuff. Too easy.

Croc sign
Made me think twice about taking a swim. They seem to like their shock-tactic signage here!

Cassowary sign
Driving through a forest where prehistoric 2m high birds wander about - this sign made Claire cry with laughter.

Above Cairns
Claire looking down on Cairns before we got on the boat.

Fire file shell
These things emit electricity which you can see on the photo if you look carefully.

Fishes
Lots of these.
