Buying a Toyota Landcruiser Prado

I made the decision to sell Orlando, but what to buy ? I was looking for a 4WD that had high clearance so I could get to the Queensland campsites that are in the national parks or on the beach. I’m not really one for caravan parks as they cost too much and are often… Read More Buying a Toyota Landcruiser Prado

Selling Orlando and Saying Goodbye

I’ve had my Outlander (Orlando) for 11yrs and I’ve been reluctant to sell him as that’s a massive chunk of my life and has never let me down. This car has enabled me to purchase kayaks and got me into a sport that I love, even though I don’t do it enough. I’ve also introduced… Read More Selling Orlando and Saying Goodbye

Ocean Roads and Fast Trains

I’ve managed to squeeze an extra story out of visiting my uncle in Cairns, so here we go. I wakeup and manage to enjoy my last sunrise at Newell Beach, which once again is more stunning and vibrant than the last. At 7am I do a final check to make sure I haven’t left anything… Read More Ocean Roads and Fast Trains

Atherton Tablelands Drive

Another day and another exciting adventure, this time my uncle and Steven drove me to their friends place in the Atherton Tablelands. I was introduced to Gabe, shown a few short introductory video on the tablelands, showing what it had to offer. Then we switched cars and now Gabe was the tour guide and navigator… Read More Atherton Tablelands Drive

Exploring the Daintree Rainforest

Just 33km away from my uncles is the world renowned Daintree Rainforest, which is the oldest continually surviving tropical rainforest in the world. Our first stop was at the Daintree River where we had to cross by car ferry, apparently some one had been taken and killed by a crocodile here only a few weeks… Read More Exploring the Daintree Rainforest

Cherished Moments with my Uncle

I’ve come up to visit my uncle in Cairns, this is someone I’ve looked up to from a very young age, the outdoor adventurer that I always wanted to be. He sent me a photo of himself and his brother in a jeep, just before we emigrated to Australia. I couldn’t wait to go on… Read More Cherished Moments with my Uncle

I was treated to a second trip with Steven today as we visited Mossman Gorge about 20mins away. After securing me with a ticket for Mossman Gorge bus, Steven and Tom left to check out a plastering job, and left me to wander around the walking tracks for a few hours. As I got off… Read More Walking Mossman Gorge
