Hey everyone!
July was our month off between semesters and we got up to Cairns North-Eastern Australia) for a few jam-packed days full of day trips and perfect weather. We checked out:
1) The Great Barrier Reef!
- 2.5 hour boat ride out to the reef and arrived at an isolated island no longer than 200 metres long.
2) Cape Tribulation – Alligator tour, zoo, rainforest hike, and awesome lookouts!
- Slower paced but great views all around and saw some really cool stuff
3) White water rafting down the Tully River
- Hello adrenaline junkies!
This blog, if tried to use words would be like trying to describe a new colour so I put in a bunch of pics.. Take a look...
