Cairns/Daintree Rainforest


Adam and I flew up to Cairns after Sydney and picked up our Campervan!!! It is a little rough around the edges, but gets us from A to B. (and hopefully Melbourne!) We picked it up and immidiately drove north of Cairns to the Daintree Rainforest. It was strange driving on the other side of the road, btu we soon got the hang of it. The drive to the rainforest was very curvy, but beautiful! We stopped off at a the Mosman Gorge for a swim, and then found a campervan park just outside the ferry to Cape Tribulation. The next morning we took the ferry across to Cape Tribulation. The ferry is just a barge across a small river. On our way to Cape Trib we did a river cruise in search of Crocs, and we saw 2! Apparently that is good for this time of year. After we went to Cape tribulation Beach. It is beautiful but you can't swim becuase of the crocs. After we drove through a bit of the interior part of Queensland back to Cairns.
Our time in Cairns was amazing. We did a day dive trip out to the Southern part of the reef. We went with TUSA diving, which is the company I actually went with 6 years ago! We got to do 3 dives, which was amazing. Our second dive was incredible. We saw 2 turtles, 2 sting ray and one shark! The boat we went on was beautiful, and the meal we had for lunch was great. All in all, a great trip to the reef!!!
