Karunda

G'day everyone!
Had a great couple of days up here in Cairns.

Yesterday we went on a day trip to the Crystal Cascades, Lake Placid and Trinity Beach. (All for only $29) It was fabulous. We swam at the waterfalls and in the lake despite the cold temperature of the water. Ruth jumped in about 3 times (mad woman!)
On the way back we spent a little bit of time on the beach- again I couldn't get Ruth out of the sea! :-)

Today (Ruth's 21st!) we went on a journey into the rainforest via Skyrail to a place called Karunda. The rainforest was beautiful- very peaceful.

We've also survived staying in a '6-dorm' room for a couple of nights....an experience not to be repeated.
Going out for dinner tonight to celebrate Ruth's b'day. Meeting up with a couple of friends from Darwin which will be nice.

The photographer that I have employed to upload our pics onto the blog is away for a week or so- but as soon as he's back they will appear!!! (Thanks 'J')

Will 'blog' again when we arrive in Port Douglas in a couple of days- our next destination......
