The Finest Art – Wrecks of Cape York
Check out the new article: Wrecks of Cape York
Banana, Queensland
Bananas are Sharni’s favourite food. So when we discovered there was a town called Banana in Queensland we thought it prudent to visit. On the way there from Charters Towers we got […]
Great Barrier Reef Diving
Back to Cairns we go to spend more time in the region after we passed through on our way up the cape. Coming from Normanton we drove through the Atherton Table lands […]
The Tip of Cape York, Queensland
We made it! The northernmost point of the Australian mainland. And we snuck in for a photo just before the hoards of elderly rocked up by the bus load. They come in […]
Punsand Bay, Cape York Peninsular
Don’t worry about cooking dinner. Check out the huge black lip oysters we found at Punsand Bay. Finally after weeks of searching we found some decent sized black lips. These oysters are […]
Seisia and Bamaga, Cape York, Queensland
The pub at Bamaga was closed when we first cruised through so after Mutee Head we went back to Bamaga to sneak in a quick beer at the pub. Then to the […]

Frenchmans Track, Cape York
We decided to take Frenchmans Track out from Iron Range National Park. It’s a very rough off road track that is notoriously difficult. We weren’t sure whether we should tackle it being […]
Daintree and CREB Track
We planned to do a famous offroad track, the CREB track, through the Daintree rainforest and it’s accessed from Daintree Village so that is where we stayed. We relaxed in the caravan […]
Cairns, Queensland
We headed to Cairns excited about the prospect of a hot shower and dry clothes after enduring non stop rain whilst on Mt Bartle Frere. Cairns is a nice city with lot’s […]
Townsville, Queensland
From Airlie Beach we headed to Townsville which is a surprisingly large city spread over a vast distance. Traffic wasn’t bad but we noticed we were spending a lot of time stopped […]
Nha Trang, Vietnam
On the way to Nha Trang we got confirmation of Joe’s job back in Australia so Nha Trang would be our final destination together on our south east Asia trip, about 5 […]
Ko Phi Phi
Ko Phi Phi should be renamed to Ko Poo Poo. That’s what the island smells like. What a terrible place. Smelly, cramped, overcrowded, dirty, polluted, covered in rubbish, expensive, noisy and crawling […]
