Our last day in Cairns and our last day with this view.. We are out of our air B&B by 10am but the plane doesn’t leave until 3pm. We have a few hours to kill. Fortunately, the apartment block is also part hotel and they are obviously not too fussy when you ask if you…
After drying out from yesterdays rainforest adventure (shoes are still wet), Julie was still suffering with her knee. This was our last full day in Cairns so it was a ‘taking it easy’ kind of day. Also the forecast was for heavy rain, again. As it happened, we didn’t have any rain at all! Just…
Day 54 was a real high and when we got back Julie was keen to seize the following day. We checked the weather forecast for tomorrow – drizzle was the order of most of the day. The day after, heavy rain. If we were going to see the rainforest, our best bet was tomorrow. We…
Apartment 1006, on the 10th floor, overlooking the bay, with the harbour in the background. The sun is out. What a fabulous start to Cairns! We are on the Esplanade and just to add to the tropical feel, it’s 28 degree. It’s also very humid so we’re sweating just walking along the front. The beach…
Our last morning in Marvellous Melbourne before we fly of to the tropical Cairns for a few days of Sun (we hope), sea and sand and just a little look and the Great Barrier Reef. I’m getting ahead again… Its a lovely morning in Melbourne and after breakfast (free at the holiday inn and it’s…
Today we have a full day to explore Melbourne. We only arrived yesterday but it’s got a really nice ‘vibe’. We like it. We like even more that it has a free tram system that rides around all the inner city. It was suggested, by the very helpful hotel receptionist, that we hop on the…
Today is our final day in Tazmania and, has been the past couple of days, it’s raining again. We do all the necessary things we need to do before returning the RV. Ditch the grey water and clean out the toilet cassette. Julie opted for the grey water clean out. Good move Julie! All done,…
We are in Coles Bay (lovely beach), just up the road from Wine Glass Bay. Famous for being, as you might guess, the shape of a wine glass. No points if you guessed that! We wake to the sound of heavy rain on our RV roof. Not good. Outside it’s wet. Very wet, and also…
Last night at St Helens, as suspected, we were off grid, to the point that I had no phone reception on either of my sims! We survived. The issue with being on an unpowered site is that the power plugs on the RV don’t work, so if you want a cup of tea, you need…
