Just after the last post I posted (Hm) I had to leave my hostel in Darwin so I ventured out with my Lonely Plant guide to Australia and Bill Bryson's Journeys of a Small Island (or whatever it's called, basically it's the one where he travels around the British Isles) into DARVIN (as all the Germans call it) I had a great walk. Darwin has basically been destroyed almost completely TWICE in it's lifetime. Firstly by Hurricane Tracy, and then again by the Japs in WW11.
Hi Everyone! I'm in Sunny Cairns and have had an awesome day! I arrived yesterday feeling pretty down in the dumps after the night flight and too much time on the plane to think about home, friends, family and my great country.
However, after a good sleep in a nice bed I felt good this morning! Yesterday I had booked my self onto a day trip out to the Great Barrier reef today. I had a great time, I went Scuba diving twice and saw a reef shark! No turtles though unfortunately, but I'll go diving again I hope.
