Airlie Beach

Hey everyone,
we've just arrived in Airlie Beach. Pretty warm (30 degrees) this evening.
Tomorrow we'll go on a guided tour to the Whitsunday Islands just off shore ... It's supposed to be a very nice place. The day after tomorrow we'll be on the road again ...
Take care everyone 🙂

Kuranda Skyrail & Scenic Train

Today was our last sightseeing day in Cairns. After some reef experiences during the last days we headed towards the tropical rainforest. Sadly we also experienced some rain (the wet season is just starting here). Anyway, we were picked up at our hostel. Then we took the skyrail over the rainforest. There are 2 stations between the first and the last where you can get off and have a closer look at the rainforest on short paths. Pretty neat experience. Also, we went for short walks at the last station where the village of Kuranda is. A really tropical experience - warm and wet 🙂 At the end we made our way back on he scenic train where we also saw the Barron Falls.

Australian Christmas Postbox

Australian Christmas Postbox

Only two weeks to go! Get your wishes in the mail ... 🙂 And remember, 'no standing - reindeers only'!

About the mailbox: This mailbox stands right in the center of Adelaide at Victoria Square, one of the busiest places around here. It doesn't seem like it, but the mailbox is something like 4 meters high (without the hat). It's huge ... On the front it says 'Santa's mailbox' and on the left (the white sign) it says 'no standing - reindeers only' (looks just like a regular sign that prohibits parking/standing on streets).

Diving

Hey everyone,

We had a wonderful sunny anbd nice day out at the Great Barrier Reef! We both did two introductory dives (with scuba tank, stinger suit,...) and snorkeling. We saw lots of cool fish and corals of course ... and had lots of fun 🙂

Cairns

Hello again,

this morning we arrived in Cairns. It's a little town at the Great Barrier Reef. We already had our first event - the helicopter flight. We saw the reef and Green Island. It was amazing to see it all.

We hope to get back to you tomorrow after our diving trip ...
