Only one night to go in Australia! Its been a busy few weeks till we last wrote and we've been struggling with our blog as it seems to be all in chinese. We are currently in Cairns. Since last writing we have been in the whitsunday islands on a boat trip. It was a fun trip in general, the highlights being, seeing a turtle while snorkeling and playing golf! but some people only saw it as a excuse to get drunk which provided entertainment for all. A guy on our trip got stung by a jellyfish and had to be rushed to hospital as he had symptoms of a potentially fatal sting, so that shook us all up a bit. We have also been to Fraser island on a camping trip, which was also very beautiful, with lots of freshwater lakes and dingos, and perhaps the highlight of Oz so far which was 2 nights on an outback farm. it was a beautiful experience, we rode horses, mustered cattle, milked cows, ate fanastic food cooked on an open fire and generally had a great time, we also tested cows for pregnancy! i wont go into details in case some of you are eating, but theres photos to prove it!!! (will post soon) We also visited Magentic Island which was extremely beautiful and we also took 2 scuba dives and did some snorkelling on The Great Barrier Reef which was awesome. We were a bit nervous at first as we were feeling rusty but it was fine. We saw loads of pretty fish, coral, sharks and another turtle. After that we went to Mission Beach which was a lovely quiet place where we celebrated Jareds birthday with a day chilling on the beach and a slap up meal in a fancy restaurant!
So now onto a new country, we are hiring a car in New Zealand so there will be no waiting for buses and we are very excited!
p.s. need to post some photos soon
