Day 17 - Atherton Tablelands

Day 17 - Larry and the fun bus
Originally uploaded by photog larry.

After a night at the Cairns night market, which included buying a bunch of souvenirs and getting a masage from the chinese contingent in the night market, it was off to the Atherton Tablelands. I was looking forward to this for the picture taking oppotunities it would afford.



We joined a tour called Uncle Brian's. This tour had been recommended by a number of sources, including the Lonely Planet and the dirrty hot chick at the hostel. They are a bit gimmicky, so we can't tell you everything (as per their request), but you can tell by the pictures, that we had a pretty good time, being immature....

Basically, the day consisted of driving around in a fun bus, stopping at swimming holes and waterfalls along the way, including the world famous Millaa Millaa Falls.



We were supposed to see the Platypi at the end of the day, but because of the rain, they wouldn't come out. Slightly disappointing, but no big deal.

Because of all the wet activities, and the rain, the fun bus became the ass stank bus by the end of the day. Reminds me of the days of my good ol Red minivan, with the homeless people smell in it...ah the memories....

anyways, day ended, and so then, did our time in Cairns. We frantically tried to figure out how to pack, with our bags growing, with more and more souvenirs stuffing our suitcases...

next stop, the whitsundays...
