Wow it's really hard to actually keep two blogs updated, given the restricted internet access and the free time we have...
So the last episode was our arrival in Adelaide. Then we went to Kangaroo Island for two days, that we accessed by taking a 45-min ferry at Cape Jervis. We saw a lot of seals, koalas, and even more more kangaroos :-) The weather was not always friendly but it was not too bad. We also "sandboarded", which was pretty fun!
We came back to Adelaide and after a short night, we went on a 3-day tour with Melbourne as the final destination. We spent about one day and a half in the Grampians National Park and saw amazing landscapes. We spent the last one day and a half on the Great Ocean Road: it goes along the coast and offers beautiful landscapes on the ocean, like the Twelve Apostles or Loch Arch Gorge.
We spent one more day in Melbourne. Our host had prepared a nice trip for us and we went on a hike on Philip Island. I was very happy as I've been able to see a small part of the Philip Island Grand Prix track :-)
The next day, we flew to Cairns, in Queensland (north of Australia). The weather is completely different from the South, it's really wet and humid. We went snorkelling and scuba-diving on the Great Barrier Reef, it was amazing! We saw several giant clams and we've even been able to touch them and put our hands in their "mouth".
Today, we've been to the rainforests. We had a really nice weather and did several swims, ofter next to waterfalls. It has been raining often recently (wet season) so the water was clear and the waterfalls gorgeous!
Here we are! We're about to take a bus to Airlie Beach, and spend two days and two nights on a boat in the Whitsunday Islands. Let's go!
