A platform, thats what cairns is, a platform to step of into the vast jungle that is the tablelands.
The destination was pks hostel, the plan was to cross crocodile infested waters, sit on a bus and get off at the right stop.
NOTE _ PLEASE DRINK ALCOHOL BEFORE READING THE FOLLOWING:
Unfortunately due to the unpredictable currents of the Daintree river, the car ferry got swept out to sea into a rough storm
Log 1
weve been swept out to see on a car ferry, and all but me and another chap survived the storm, unfortunately this morning he got sucked to death by a giant manta ray so now theres only me. i see in the distance an island, but its a long way off.
Log 2
Drifted up to a deserted island with nothing but a book, a tennis ball and a laptop computer with internet access. The beach is full of coconuts so have decided to call it coconut beach to be original.
Thick dense rainforrest lies adjacent to the beach which i plan to explore.
Log 3
Went in search of people and found a nutter on the top of a
tree, helped him down but he doesnt speak much, i guess his language is nut known. Was going to call him Wilson but apparently thats under copyright so instead have called him scuba fred.
Log 4
Attempted a game of tennis with scuba fred but he just doesnt get it, looking out for ships.
Log 5
Built a raft and now standing in the crows nest to get a better view
Log 6
Just realised Scuba freds a coconut- i cant believe it, he looks so different from the others!
Log 7
Just found out that coconut milk is a natural laxative
Log 8
Night time - been on a night walk in the jungle and come face to face with some of its top predators - beauty!
Log 8
Swung around the jungle a bit, Tarzan style - or not as the case may be.
Log 9
Built a kyak from coconuts and paddled to civilisation - sore a few angry reptiles on the way
back
Log10
Back in the safety net of Cairns
