After more than two weeks, we finally left Cairns and continued our journey. We enjoyed Cairns as it had so much to offer. We still had one more attraction to get to – Babinda Kayaking but we decided to approach it from our next camp. This time we did not drive far, only 90 km…
In our second week in Cairns, we still had a few places to see. Our plan was to visit Kearneys Falls, Cattana Wetlands, and Barron Gorge Hydro Station. But let’s start from the beginning. After six months of travelling and at least visiting thirty different pools, I must finally say that Nell had made great…
Regretfully, after two weeks in Port Douglas we ‘cut the roots’ and drove south to Cairns. Port Douglas will remain in our memories for a long time. We will definitely come back here. There were so many Cairns attractions on our list and we could not wait to see them. #1 Cairns Coconut Resort Our…
The next day we were planning to go to Kuranda and Barron Falls via Black Mountain Road. It has already been our second week in Port Douglas. We love this town so much that we just could not leave.

Sleeping at Wonga Caravan Park was great as we were located meters from Wonga Beach and all night we could hear the ocean. Next day the sunrise was spectacular. Clouds hung low over the orange sphere which illuminated them beautifully from below. We planned for a big day today – visit the world heritage Daintree…
Regretfully we had to leave brolgas and wallabies in Karumba and move to our next destination – Undara Volcanic National Park to see the unique Undara Lava Tubes. We had to drive around 520 km again as there was not much on the way – just a few small towns. Saying goodbye to brolgas On…
Our next destination was Karumba. After seeing dancing brolgas on Plenty Highway we were counting for more around Karumba. Karumba is a small fishing town located in the Gulf of Carpentaria, 570 km from Mount Isa. First, we had to go east, pass Cloncurry and turn left to Burke Developmental Road. We heard that Karumba…
We had had a really good rest in Alice Spring before we continued our longest Australia shortcut. Our plan was to hit Plenty Highway just 70 km north from Alice Springs and at the end turn left to Urandangi Road for a final stretch to Mount Isa. Preparing for a dirt again In the morning…
