Cairns, the Reef and Maggie
June 26, 2008 - Townsville, Australia
Cairns.
Cairns is shit. Seriously, it's the first town in Australia I actually hated. The only thing Cairns is good for is partying. There are no sights, no interesting history, no bushwalking opportunities. All you can do (and indeed that's all most backpackers do in Cairns) is get pissed, sleep till three, work away your hangover at the pool...

The Alice!
June 18, 2008 - Alice Springs, Australia
Seven days of mostly driving: that was the Desert Patrol tour. Of course that was to be expected: Adelaide-Alice Springs is quite the distance. And then there are people who do it in two, apparently. Brrrr... The first three days of the tour were the biggest driving days. On day two we had to backtrack to Quorn (which was the lunch stop of day...
