Murf wanted me to make up a nice story about how we travelled to the moon and back by hitching a spaceship. (lovely if your boyfriend FINALLY finds out how great the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is. Ps movie comes out end of this month) Think that I just stick to the truth right now.
Heading out of Cairns didn't went that fast. Needed to do some things over there. So we spended the night on one of our regulair campingspots out of town. Spended the night there and headed out to the Tablelands. After seeing heaps of waterfalls in the rain. (Wheater was pretty crap for an amount of days) We spended the night along Lake Tinaroo. But after that left the Tablelands pretty quickly. Is a lovely environment. But not when it is raining. Then we went to Paronella park. Which is basicly a park built by a spanish chap with a castle etc. And you can stroll along. Sounds pretty boring but is actually quite romantic. The ticket included also a couple of tours. Such as a bushwalk with a guide who tells the story. A bushwalk with a guide who explains you a lot about the certain types of food and medication for the aboriginails in the forrest. Then we had a nightwalk which was quite cool, with al kinds of lights. And off course an aboriginal performance. The best one so far that I have seen. So we just went twice. And that is all included in the entry fee. Which is quite nice. Spend ther 2 nights. The morning we left was a bit a hassle. Because our van decided that it was too cold and humid. But after looking very nice at some park employes the jumper cables came out of the magic hat. And we gave her a nice kick. She had to work but gave trouble the whole day through.
Then we went down to Ingham. Where they should have the highest single drop falls. 268 meters (out of my head so don't pinpoint me on that.) We spended the night there after dragging our van up there. Was lovely. the next day did some walks which gave us view of a big lizzard and a rock wallabie. The waterfall was amazing. After hitting it very easy down we had lunch at a thee house with amazing view. Was very very lovely. Then drove down to Townsville where we stuffed ourselfs with info. Went to the movie. And then to our campground. Where we already stay for a longer time. Did soem shopping/movies/musea. And today brought our car away to a mechanic with the message that if it would fall apart in Sydney that we are fine. But till then it has to go. They gave us a good laugh and were fine. Still waiting for a call what it will gonna do. Also checked for diving again. And still considering a live aboard here. But you will hear.
And before I do forget. After calling my parents and brother yesterday. I want to say; HAPPY BIRTHDAY. To my dear brother who is already 17. And my dad already reconed he needed a walking stick.
Love
Nicky
