We left Ellis beach, dropped the boat trailer off at a caravan park to be put into storage for the next 10 days. Then went to the Cairns airport to pick up Tara & Justin. They left Melbourne at 8 degrees and arrived at Cairns with a nice 28 degrees.
We went and picked up their campervan and then heading south out of Cairns and arrived at the Boulders and got one of the last two sites available. Then we went for a walk down to the boulders.
Monday we drove down to Paronella Park and once set up in the caravan park we then did a day tour and a night tour. Tara & Justin loved the place.
Tuesday we left Paronella Park and went and did the Mamu Rainforest Canopy Walkway before going to our campsite in the Wooroonooran National Park. The sky opened up and we had heaps of rain for the rest of the day, so a lazy day was had by us all and then cooked up a roast dinner on the cobb.
Wednesday - Mark & I had to travel back to Cairns for treatment, so Tara & Justin went and checked out the waterfalls and we then met back up at the Innot Hot Springs. We arrived there about 6pm, so Tara & I decided to have a soak in the hot springs in the morning, which was great.
Thursday - we arrived at the Undara lava tubes, we did a tour of the lava tubes then dinner at the Fettlers Iron Pot Bistro.
Friday - we headed back to Mareeba, stopped at Ravenshoe for lunch. Stopped at Atherton and checked out some shops, then before arriving at Mareeba called into the Becks Aviation & Military Museum. It's the largest privately owned aviation and military museum in Queensland.
Saturday - first stop for the day was the Coffee Works at Mareeba, then an ice creamery where I had an apple pie ice cream. We stopped at Kuranda and went the the Australian Venom Zoo, where Tara was the one offering to hold the reptiles.
Arrived back in Cairns went and washed the vehicles before booking into the caravan park, then off to dinner.
Sunday - Tara & Justin flew out just after 9am, so it was an early start. It was a great week having Tara & Justin up here with us and so sad saying goodbye, but we'll be home in about 2 months. After seeing Tara & Justin off we again took off back to Ellis beach, as we only had two days before more treatment.
