We came up to Cape Tribulation yesterday, after a long drive we came to the Wildlife Sanctuary- we fed the Roo's and the Ducks, saw a few crocs, got a picture stroking a Koala, held a Python... that was only the beginning of the day! Unfortunately we only have pictures of the Koala's as I accidently deleted everything else! (Soo Sorry Kay)

We went for a walk through the rainforest near Mossman Gauge, and got absolutely drenched with rain! Then went back dried of( just a little) as it continued to rain all night,

Today we went diving on the Rumrunner (www.rumrunner.com.au), to dive and snorkel on the GBF. It was amazing- only 2 boats have the permit to go in these waters and we were privileged to be on one of them. If you want to dive on the reef and want to visit a coveted spot- I would definately reccomend these guys. The crew were amazing and really helpful- Kay and I were a bit nervous as this was our first dive outside of our training. But the guys made us feel totally at ease and we throughly enjoyed our 2 dives. We saw so many fishes-the most excited- 2 baby sharks ( as tall as me), 100's of little Nemo fishes, 3 stingrays, a few jelly fish, I could go on... there was soo many, all equally amazing. My first dive experience outside my course and I loved it!
