We are very lucky to be going on another tour. This time we are going to explore Far North Queensland and right up to the tip of Australia and Thursday Island. Tomorrow we fly to Cairns (3hrs) where we stay overnight then we are doing a 4 day trip on the outback train "The Sevannahlander"which goes inland from Cairns. Each day we leave the train for a guided tour and to sleep overnight and then we board the train again for the next day. Then we return to Cairns for another 2 days including tours. Then we join an APT tour in a four wheel drive bus/truck and travel up to the tip of Australia through 'Crocodile Dundee" territory. It is very remote and rugged. There will not be much internet service so you will have to wait until I return to read about our adventures. Although Bill has done a scheduled post for each day to show you where we are. I think he has used brochures and the web to illustrate where we are.
