Well certainly alot has happened over the past week and I feel like we have looked on, walked on, or splashed in the waters of most of the beaches this upper east coast has to offer. Some better known than others, but most with pretty much the same things on show, crystal torquoise waters and long, curved beaches. Some with palms and some without. We have been lucky enough to find some lesser known places like St Helens beach (north of Mackay) and Bramston Beach (south of Cairns), where we have pretty much been able to camp on the foreshore overlooking the water. As well as others like Mission Beach and Airlie Beach which have had their own individual vibe to enjoy.
We loved Mission Beach and would definately return in the future. It is a very cruisey little town with plenty of hippies and wide open spaces to allow relaxation to come easily.
We are now in the gorgeous little town of Palm Cove, just north of Cairns. We have been here before so we knew what to expect and although it is a little busier, it is still as enjoyable as always. Have secured a little corner of the Palm Cove campsite for five days, a beauitful position opposite the beach, with huge palms and fig trees. All secured for the grand price of $17 a night.....ahhh the serenity.
Anyway we will now get Ella's arm checked out at the Cairns hospital and change the CV's in the Landcruiser before heading up the Cape.
Alex and Scott are holidaying up here till wednesday, up from Melbourne, so it's nice to have some time with familiar faces. Beautiful weather, the beach, few bevvies and some old mates ......what more could you want?
