Mission Beach

 
Hi Everyone, we ended up in the jungle for this school break, escaping the cold temperatures in Melbourne for the warmth of Queensland (highs of 25, lows of 12, vs. highs of 13 and lows of 5). We were lucky enough to avoid crocodiles, and see the cassowary, green tree frog, electric blue Ulysses butterfly, Great Barrier Reef and lots of really big spiders! We also journeyed into the outback to see lava tubes, but didn't get a tour because we didn't think to book ahead! Typical us... It was a real treat to stay at Bingal Bay and the most relaxing time we've had in a long time. Once we were back in Melbourne we packed up everything that wouldn't fit into our luggage and sent it on to Canada (slow boat, 6-8 weeks travel time). So we're counting down our last month in Australia and feeling sad to go, but happy to head for home.
