Australia ’06

10 things we learnt about Australia.

July 6, 2006

Here are some things that we have learnt about Australia: 1) No, the toilets don’t flush in the opposite direction. Actually, any toilet we’ve had the pleasure to be acquainted with has a super strong flush that is probably considered a low flow toilet, therefore, we haven’t had the chance to see which way the [...]

The end.

July 4, 2006

Our last couple of days in Australia went far to quickly. We got up Sunday morning and started getting ready for our flight back to Sydney. We left a little early and did a final walk around of Cairns, mainly to find some breakfast. We took some pictures which we had not done the entire [...]

Day 19 Cairns Day 5

July 1, 2006

Last night Dan rented a car for us to use today and tomorrow. We decided to get a car because we couldn’t stand the idea of spending the entire day here in Cairns with nothing to do. We had to pick up the car at noon, so we had a relaxing morning and went out [...]

Day 18 Cairns Day 4

June 30, 2006

Day 15 Cairns

June 27, 2006

Ahhh, our last day with “Bessie” the van! Our morning was uneventful especially since we cleaned up the van the last night. We went to make some toast at the community toaster and the electricity was unavailable. I suppose it’s a problem with being connected to a generator. So instead I had cold bread with [...]

Day 14: Cape Tribulation (in the Daintree Rainforest)

June 26, 2006

Today’s adventures included learning about the jungle and eating new foods. We woke up early this morning to get ready for an 8am Kayaking adventure around Cape Tribulation. We weren’t sure exactly what we were to expect but we were both excited! Finally our tour guide met us with two other people; a couple from [...]
