I left Airlie Beach on Wednesday to head to Magnetic Island via Townsville. The history of Townsville was actually quite interesting but the area itself wasn't stunning. Maggie on the other hand was really nice. The hostel was ON the beach...down the steps and into the sea. Spent one night there and moved on.
James and I were supposed to spend a night at Mission Beach but we decided to miss it out and arrived in Cairns yesterday. On the way up though, we stopped at Johnston River Crocodile Farm. It was brilliant!
I held a baby croc, a water python and a black parrot! Then we saw the HUGE crocs being fed...they were pretty damn scary! All the crocs were "problem" crocs...e.g. they kept eating cattle, had been injured etc. The farm breeds/feeds them for meat and skin. Was an awesome couple of hours and I managed to get some good pics and a video too.
Cairns in hot but quite nice. Last night we had an oz experience party at the infamous Wool Shed. Good times. Should have a busy time here too with the stuff we've booked. Will update again very sooon!
