the frequent inquiries in the last few days, even if we swim or are already set, I would first reassure the first time all worries:) All the training wheels are stored, and the life ring and the boat is put away again.

It's funny, but since we Rockhampton left behind was, far and wide like no flooded streets or more in sight. Daily sunshine with occasional small showers which is normal but for the season. We are literally the rain fled and went into the sun. At last we have the desired temperatures, which usually go in the direction of the 35C °, clear blue skies, beautiful beaches for swimming and starry views at night.
pity that we have such a storm could not have from the start - the weather is different just in the 3 different climate zones of the country. Meanwhile, we see it again positive, because if you want to experience a part of a country, then, this includes the different weather.

Not only the weather has changed for us in the new year but also result in the daily goals of our tour, which meander almost now exclusively the east coast and are nothing more into the mountainous hinterland. Along the coast runs almost parallel along a mountain chain in Germany, which haunts us throughout on the left side of the car window. From the village are dependent on the mountains relatively close to the coast or up to 70km inland. Logically, then the coast is a different width and flat until suddenly the mountain range, the altitude, as if from nowhere, rising to over 1000m leaves. As already mentioned, there were on our trips to the mountains, watching numerous rain forests and waterfalls, but also browse on the highland plateaus many cows and horses, which reminded me of the native Alp:) Enough of the rain forest, waterfalls, diverse birds, the gigantic trees , lianas and strain, especially the mountain roads which are not only the stomach but also the car again and again to its limit, we will now spend the remaining days near the coast and hopefully the opportunity to get to the 8th Wonder of the world into hiding - the Great Barrier Reef.

In the new year's went so from Rockhampton north towards Sarina where we spent our first night in the new year. Even the next day we approached with great strides our destination Cairns, but not to arrive too late for fear, but because of the beaches and sights along this coast are not present. Of course there is what you see everywhere, but does my father receive only his crocodile, which hopefully in the near Port Douglas, 60 km north of Cairns waiting for him - since he has read the Guide of the crocodile tours, which was formally his only destination:)

at Airlie Beach, a beautiful coastal city, where there was finally a little bit more ahead, we have then spent the next night. My brother and I would like to make it the party still remained here, however, it was my father and Beate not the place ready to gain as much and as it went the next day to Mission Beach where we first two nights spent in one place. Not only the wonderful beach kept us on the next trip, but the day trip to the nearby "Dunk Iceland.

the first of the two beautiful days
we have at the beach spent under a burning sun, which has all of us now have missed a nice red sunburn. On the morning of the second day we took a water taxi to Dunk Iceland ", which is located about 10km from the coast.
While my father and beat the day at one of the wonderful Beaches have spent, my brother and I explored a little island. In a two-hour hike, we went through a tropical rain forest on the 271m high Mount Kootaloo, which offered us a view of islands lying around, to the vast inland. Of course I want us not pretend to be fascinated by hikers, for the remaining hours on the island we spent two on a beautiful beach.

we had a bath on this day only a limited extent, since November to March the coast of Queensland 'from the poisonous "Box Jelly Fish Jellyfish are haunted and you should therefore be swimming without a "full-body condom" avoid.
to pass the time Michael has still tries on a coconut. Although ultimately the good milk and the meat came to light, I wonder who is broken in the opening up more:)

Packed to be sometimes stayed in one of the many Australian islands with the experience, we went again by 14 clock back to the mainland where we find the remaining hours in part on the beach, some of the pool at the campsite have spent. The crowning glory of this day was very tasty barbecue, which served up my father. From hamburgers, steak over the hot dogs and salad, everything was there - fill his mission to me after the bush was, therefore, hereby already done: D
Our next destination is Port Douglas are now from where I intended also one other interesting report you can report.
Until the day;)
