Dec 2006

Ok so after Cape Trib we headed down to Cairns. The weather is out of control hot and yes I am as tan as someone my color can get(but thats not me bragging or anything). Up in Cairns Kelly and I had quite a few adventures. We attempted to get to a small rainforest town but the hill on the way up was just too much for Muff(thats the name of the Van that I have been living out of for almost a month now). So after sitting on the side of the highway looking like fools for about two hours we decided to take the easy way and head back down the hill saving our day trip to Kuranda for another day. In Cairns I also went out on a day trip to the Great Barrier Reef where my intial intention was to sunbath and maybe go for a snorkel while Kelly did some scuba dives. However I was coaxed into doing an introductory scuba dive. It was amazing, it was a completely different ocean experience than anything else I have ever done.

Currently I am writing to you from Byron Bay which is our final stop along our 3000 Kilometer drive down the east coast in hopes of making it to Sydney for Christmas. We made it pretty far in the first two days of driving but it wasnt pretty. Hope all is well on the home front. Happy Holidays to All!!!

Ok so unfortunately Lexie has left us and is traveling south for a bit before heading home for the holidays. Lex you will be missed by all!! So Tom, Kelly, and I headed up north to Cape Tribulation where we experienced exotic forms of widelife and beautiful rainforests. Not much to write just figured I would put a bunch of pictures up for all to enjoy. Currently we are in Cairns for about a week. I am however looking forward to my 3000 Kilometer drive down the coast to Sydney for Christmas...it should be quite interesting..

Just taking a stroll to find a not existing creek to swim in!!

For some reason they tell you not to swim in these waters?!?!?

nice shot of the walk to the beach
