this is life right now

Cairns and North into the Daintree Rainforest... lots of untoched beaches.. lots of van time.. lots of trees and bugs and saltwater..

UPDATE!

So Keli and I have been on opposite sides of Australia for the past three weeks.. We decided to meet back up in Cairns to do some genuine Australian things.. We have been here about a week now and have swam in the Great Barrier reef, seen some parrots and kangaroos, and Keli is currently in the process of getting her dive certificate. It has been abnormally rainy and windy since we've arrived, but it's given us time to plan our next month.. We met a couple Dutch girl at our hostel and we all decided to rent a van and drive south along the coast together! This adventure will start on the 10th! More to come...
Below are pictures of Green island... a super tiny island on the fringe of the reef where we all got really sunburned, snorkeled on the Great Barrier Reef, spotted sharks and turtles, and finally swam in the salt water.

the great ocean road

there is a road south of Melbourne home to some of the best surf spots and beautiful beaches in Australia. The bus ride was a bit touristy, but well worth it.
