We finally get back to the resort and pump some Powerade into our bodies. Its not long before the others are on approach and I buy a round for them which is ready as they walk in.
Travel Diary
Around Oz the First Time – Chapter 36 – Fourth Week Down
I am more than happy we have not seen as many crocodiles as I perceived there would be, but have seen enough, almost treading on one, to know a boat is a much better idea than bank fishing
Around Oz the First Time – Chapter 37 – El Questro Day 3
Evidently the body was found by one of Shaun’s mates and from the nature of the distribution of clothing, first neatly then as the heat took over, strewn all about, the descending onto heat induced madness was ridiculously evident.
Around Oz the First Time – Chapter 38 – El Questro to Bungle Bungles
As the sunsets I find a vantage point as high as possible to snap shots of the sun receding through the trees. Whilst I am wandering, I find camels
Around Oz the First Time – Chapter 39 – Bungle Bungles Day 2
My efforts make Rosalie carsick, and as soon as we have reception, we stop to make the call and everyone gets out to have a walk
Here We Go Again – Chapter 23 – Mackay to Mackay
The walk from the spot of Robyn reading to the waters edge is some 200 metres or more. We pump some fresh nippers before heading out to the creek
Here We Go Again – Chapter 24 – Sledging, Colonialism or Racism
We are, for that matter, all interested in a better life. Why? Because we want ours to be better than the next man, and there lies the failure in society
Here We Go Again – Chapter 25 – Mackay to Airlie Beach
Time to explore. Forbsy won’t be in the park until after about 4.00 so we are only four as we head back into Airlie Beach.
Here We Go Again – Chapter 26 – Airlie Beach Day 2
No, on further investigation the people are actually in eyesight and they are not moving. The babbling of the creek is actually the sound of the falls.
Here We Go Again – Chapter 27 – Airlie Beach Day 3
The half hour in the water goes all too quickly. Getting back in the big boat, I cant get the wetsuit off quick enough and start warming up.
Here We Go Again – Chapter 28 – Airlie Beach Day 4
In my opinion we started late, finished early and given the cost is the same as we are charged at home on Illusion we got much less value for the day
Here We Go Again – Chapter 29 – Airlie Beach Day 5
The clothes lines are all full and we need to rig up the portable one to get them dry. Its wind still, even in the protected park and we need to peg the legs into the ground lest we may need to rewash the sheets
