Reefin'

Gooday!~
We are here, in our final coastal destination "Cairns". This place seems to be a tourist center, with lots of great barrier

reef trips and such, one of which we will be heading out on tomorrow, to snorkel the outer reef and cruise on the boat. I lost

track of how many days it has been since the last post. We definitely put in a couple of serious driving days to get up here.

Fraser island was fun, we rode around in the biggest 4wd I have ever seen, looked at a shipwreck, Mega floated down a crik, and dingos tried to steal someone's baby, and sniffed around on the rainwater lake.
There was monsoon in Mackay, this time we rode it out in the camper. Notably, we had to go out into the storm at about 1am to

remove the awning because the wind was causing it to jerk the camper all over the place. It was fun.
On our way to the far north we passed through townsville, a very picturesque place, and took a day trip out to magnetic

island, where we found a beach all to ourselves. Townsville looked like it should have dinosaurs walking around in it.
We also stopped in the mountains for a night and saw a giant waterfall.
The people of the far north are friendly blokes. They have the most 4wd vehicles per capita of anywhere I have seen. They are

complaining because the monsoons have moved north and it is kinda hot. Too bad! ha ha ha more fun for us.
Catch you later -Ryan
