Cairns to the Whitsundays!

Scuba diving was amazing, we did 3 dives so the day was pretty jam packed. I hired an underwater camera so got some cool pics including some of a family of clown fish. Ther was so much colour downb ther it was great. I did get a bit of a bad ear thought, by the last dive so couldnt get that deep, its still not quite right so i went to a chemist.

The next day we headed up to cape tribulation on a coach trip, with a really funny coach driver called billy, who told us lots of stories. We saw a baby croc on the daintree river, and then went for a walk in the junglem and had luch near cape trib beach. It was v pretty but not that sunny and there wer stingers so no swimming. We did swim in mossam gorge on the way back which was v refreshing.

The next morning we picked up the campers, we some how managed to pay the 3,000 dollar bond per camper via toms parent at midnight! we also managed to get to big campers due to a mess up with the booking.

We then headed south! By the evening we arrived at mission beach, and we decided to go to a camp site. They are very hot inside, which makes sleep a bit difficult but we manage. In the morning it was tipping it down so we didnt stay on the beach! we decided to just head south fot more sunny weather. By the late afternoon we arrived in townsville, wer we could get to magnetic island the next day. We slept o the side of the road and in the morning it was still raining so we decided not to go to the islands. We sopent the morning looking for jump leads as wre had managed to run down the battery of on3e of the campers! we then headed more south stopping in Ayre for a drink, then in bowen for the night wer we slept in an empty carpak right next to the beach!

This morning we woke to the sea breeze, i went for a run along the beach and up this hill wer there wer amazing views all around. We hung around the beaches near bowen in the mornuing, the headed to arie beach wer you can get to the witsindays. We booked a trip 2moro which should be fun.

We also saw a big snake today whilst washing up, and a possum in a tree just next to the campers!

sorry no time to check spelling!
