A Little Travel Memory…Diving Australia’s Blue Waters
Blog: A Little Adrift - A RTW Travelogue - 23 November 2010
The visibility at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia was fantastic the weekend I chose for my Cairns live-aboard dive trip. The clear blue waters perfectly highlighted the vibrantly colored fish and diverse coral. This was my first diving after my getting my divers certification and it set the bar very high for the dives to come on the rest of my round the world travels.

North of North
Blog: Twenty-Something Travel - 15 November 2010
Some people who visit Australia make it further north than Brisbane. Some of them even make it up to Cairns, but not that many continue even further north of Cairns, up into the Cape York Peninsula. I certainly understand why: it’s not the most comfortable corner of the world. If the giant bats, the jellyfish [...]

A Great Barrier Reef Finale to Australia
Blog: Wanderlust - 29 June 2010
Driving on Fraser Island After spending almost two full weeks in the small city of Cairns, I had no other choice but to leave. If it wasn’t for my booked flight to New Zealand in less than 48 hours, chances are I would have stuck around for an additional two weeks. There isn’t much to [...]

A love note for Australia
Blog: Vagabond3 - 17 June 2010
Australia has always been this magical place in my mind. After my dad went on a surf trip when I was a kid and my mom’s total love for it, even though she’s never been, there has been something fantastical about this kangaroo and diggeradoo packed place. Planning this trip forced me to research some [...]

RTW Day 8: Melbourne to Cairns (by way of Brisbane)
Blog: Vagabond3 - 15 June 2010
Shortest night yet, but this trip is about packin in as much as possible. Today we headed from the South, Melbourne, to the North, Cairns, with a ten hour layover in Brisbane- just enough time to see The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e6nWtYMEkY

Riding the Sun to the East Coast

Stanley and Us Less than 200 km north of Alice Springs, we reached the Tropic of Capricorn, which meant warmer weather ahead.

Diving into Oz. Cairns, Australia
Blog: Chronicles of a year-long break-up - 28 April 2010
Cairns was, predictabley, a bit of a shock after Timor Leste and much of Asia – clean streets, nice cars, trimmed lawns, quiet pedestrian-only squares, a shiny shopping centre and so many swimming pools. It’s a nice town full of mostly two storey buildings with a conscious small town feel. The centre of everything is [...]

We made it to Tropical Cairns!!!
Blog: A Travel Around the World - 18 December 2009
Yeeehh! Finally we are here in Tropical Cairns. It feel a bit weird though: maybe it’s because we are reluctantly aware that this amazing trip is getting closer and closer to its end, on the other side, it feel like we just conquer the whole Australia, though we only had driven a small part along the East Coast embarking on this roadtrip in Melbourne. Can’t believe we actually made it to the Far North Queensland all in one piece with our van still running!
