Cairns

January 19th, 2010 Jenni

We arrived late into Cairns and had already booked a hostel so we knew where we were going from the airport, which is always handy! We were staying at Cairns City backpackers and it was pretty nice, shared a room with a guy that was the most unbelievable sleeper! The guy was literally sleeping 16  Read More »

Happy Canoe Year

January 18th, 2010 H&M on the road

New year’s eve was a bit unusual this time round. Rather than going for the magnificant fireworks of Sydney we opted for a room behind a bookies in Bellingen (much nicer than it sounds, honest). Most country pubs in Australia seem to have extensive gambling facilities next to the bar and we were in a  Read More »

The Rock

January 18th, 2010 Pille

4päevane safari oli suurepärane võimalus visata käe pealt ära kell ja lõpetada kuupäevade ja päevade loendamine. Niimoodi keset kõrbe ringi rännates tekkis ajatu tunne, mis on jube hea vaheldus igapäevastele kellast kinnipidamistele. Meil õnnestus näha täiesti erilise näoga kõrbe, sest ka seal oli ohtralt sademeid alla tulnud ja nüüd on kõik väga roheline. Tavaliselt pidavat  Read More »

Bundy

January 17th, 2010 Pille

Fraserilt edasi kulges teekond Bundabergi, mis on tuntud rummivalmistamise piirkond. Jõudsime sinna täpselt 24. detsembri õhtul, mil avatud oli vaid toidupood ja suurt midagi linnas ei toimunud. Nii oli ka järgmisel päeval, mis ajendas meid taas ruttu edasi liikuma. Sellise tempo juures olime mingil hetkel lausa graafikust ees, mis on väga meeldiv, siis ei pea  Read More »

Townsville

January 17th, 2010 Pille

Peale lennusõitu oli käes juba õhtu, aga meil oli vaja veel mõnisada kilomeetrit sõita, et jõuda Townsville’i. Tee oli pime ja igav, lõpupoole ka väga putukarohke ning kartsime, et iga hetk võib tuuleklaasile hüpata ka känguru. Õnneks seda ei juhtund, ainult üks konn astus ise ratta alla. Sellest linnast meile sügavamat muljet ei jäänud, kuna  Read More »

Under the Sea on the Great Barrier Reef

January 12th, 2010 Bill & Michelle DeKeyser

Well, I decided to start a new blog to describe everything we did in Cairns as to put all the troublesome travel in the past and now laugh as it’s pretty funny with a happy ending. We’re in Cairns, and we’re going to have a great time! Our first day left us still wondering whether  Read More »

Around the world (ish) in a builder’s van

January 11th, 2010 FunkyMonkeys

Well, we finally made it to Cairns, after travelling a total of 3,216km in Carol up the east coast. Definitely an amazing way to travel and see Australia, despite the occasional overheating engine, and I recommend it to anyone. Luckily for anyone who, like us, doesn’t know the area very well, Australians have developed a  Read More »

Port Clinton

January 11th, 2010 Symons_Family

Set up camp at Port Clinton, Robert and Elaine, the caravan park managers were great, made us feel right at home. On the 5th, Renee and Cam and kids joined us in the camp trailer, mum and dad joined us on the 7th. Very happy to see them all. Two things about the place, one,  Read More »

Hallo Australië

January 11th, 2010 RTWFrans

Aangezien ik nog online kon inchecken en niet bepaald de eerste was in de check-in rij had ik een center seat op het vliegtuig. Een CENTER SEAT! En dat voor een vlucht van 10 uur… Ik was lichtelijk teleurgesteld. Center seats zijn voor andere mensen. Ik heb altijd een window seat. Maarja, er was niet  Read More »
