Day 15, Thursday, February 18 2010 ———————————— We took a walk around the Cape Tribulation beach.

We got driven back to Cairns with the Cape… Continue reading “Australia, Day 15”

Day 13, Tuesday, February 16 2010 ———————————- We went to Tjapukai Cultural Park where we saw aboriginal dances, didgeridoos performances and got to know more about the history of the aborigines in the north eastern area of Australia.

Day 12, Monday, February 15 2010 ———————————- We Checked-out in the morning and then we sat around Alice Lodge writing a bit in our diaries, paging through our Lonely Planets and lost in thought.

Day 9, Friday, February 12 2010 ———————————- Because the tour was going to leave by 6:30 in the morning we had to get up quite early.

Day 8, Thursday, February 11 2010 ———————————- Before we left for the airport we put a shelf together for Magda. She has been wanting this shelf to be put up for over 4 years, but sadly her sons never did it. Since we wanted to repay Magda for everything she had been doing for us… Continue reading “Australia, Day 8”
Day 7, Wednesday, February 10 2010 ———————————- The next day we saw that there was really nothing that could be done and thankfully our hostel wasn’t a problem to change our booked days to a day earlier, so we did that, and after about an hour on the phone our flights were also changed to… Continue reading “Australia, Day 7”
Day 6, Tuesday, February 9 2010 ——————————- In the morning we went to Caversham Wildlife Park which is situated just north east of Perth. The wildlife park is not just a simple zoo, it is actually in the midle of a national park and thus also serves as a sanctuary and a nursery for animals.… Continue reading “Australia, Day 6”
