Apart from the Great Barrier Reef there's loads to see up here in Cairns, so Clare and I decided to take a tour up north. Now this was to be the furthest North we were to go on the East coast, maybe the whole trip. The tour took in a visit to a wildlife park, Daintree National park and Cape Tribulation. The rainforests of Cape trib and Daintree were brilliant and we even went on a little bit of a Croc hunt (Because that's what you do with Crocs......go looking for them!).
The wildlife park was billed as an interactive experience and it certainly lived up to it. Once you were there you could get attacked by Wallabies, Kangaroos and even the odd pararot. Clare was scathed by the first two and had an attacking fly by from the latter. Now, you maybe wondering where I was during all of this. Well I had taken the decision to use Clare as a human shield whilst screaming like a girl. Not the most manly of stances, I must agree, but I did come out unharmed nevertheless I'm sure you'll be relieved to hear.

Hello, sorry, I mean G’Day you guys, great to catch up with you both.
Sunshine, white sand, clear water, no jobs, sounds like heaven. Am I jealous, not one bit….well may be a little, well actually quite a lot in fact!!!
Soooo wanna be where you guys are right now. It’s been cold and wet here recently and I am wondering whether we will see any summer this year!
Good to see you both having a great time in Aussieland. How’s the GROG and TUCKER?
By the way nice van, like it…. I think you should enter it on MTV pimp my ride. Just needs some spinners to finish it off proper styleee!!!!
Anyway got to go, have to go and do some HARD YAKKA……not that you both know what that means.
Will post again soon

G'day Bruce & Sheila,
Thank you very much for the photos.
As well as serving to appease me that you are actually out of the country and not simply avoiding everyone, it has also fuelled my jealousy regarding your little adventure, and to echo H's comments regards Sunshine and white sands etc I have to say I am more than a little envious.
You both look really well, clearly eating out of tins and poo'ing in the woods is doing wonders for you both - ha ha!!
Not sure about the van. It is certainly a step up from the Robbie one you mentioned you may have got but I can imagine you got some strange looks going through these sleepy outback towns.
I have been reading the blog quite regularly and I am quite impressed that you have managed to put as many updates onto it as you have. I thought that there may be the occasional update but nothing quite as extensive as we have seen.
That said - there are two things which have been bugging me that I feel appropriate to bring to your attention.
Firstly - every time the page comes up it have the title 'we are going wondering' - this should be 'wandering' should it not? Wondering give an impression that you are off to a distant land just to be alone with your thoughts...
Secondly - the wedding photo has a caption beneath it saying 'Clare was concerned about Mark's shoehorn shaped dandruff'. Surely this should read 'Clare was concerned about Mark's HORSESHOE shaped dandruff' - making reference to the confetti gracefully dusted all over your head. If I remember rightly it was the traditional horseshoe shape rather than shoehorn shaped.
I know this is petty - but I am sat at my desk on a grey Monday morning contemplating a week full of dull meetings with people who are so stupid it makes you wonder how we managed to stay at the top of the food chain. So you will forgive me for feeling a little bitter.
Thanks for the updates - keep them coming. i will be sure to pick you up on any other errors as and when i find them.
Take care - and remember, don’t feed the Dingo's!!
Matt
PS: I want to see a picture of a Koala or a Kangaroo. Fanks!!
