Carry on camping

Or carry on campervanning! We hired a van for five days and went travelling through Queensland. it was only a wee van but cosy. Bit hot in the evenings and the mozzies made life a little tricky but it was good fun and we saw some beautiful places, 4 mile beach in Port Douglas, Cape Tribulation where Capt Cook struck the reef. We had our own mini adventure there ourselves. We found a really nice campsite 50 yards from the sea and were woken up in the morning by the owner knocking on our van at 8:30! bit odd until we found out he was waking everyone to alert us to the Tsunami warning for North Queensland coast after a huge 8 point something earthquake in the South Pacific! We quickly packed up and headed for the hills, breakfasting at a safe height for an hour or two until the all clear was given. Bit of excitement. We then headed into the Atherton Tableland and visited loads of waterfalls, some hot springs before heading back to Cairns to receive our Visas for Japan! More on that to follow....
