Pictures, Pictures, and More Pictures! Road Trip to Cairns!

Hostel Night 1

 We found a playground...so of course we had to play! :)
 Hanging out looking at the ocean
 Road Trip to Cairns...Something we will never forget!
 Wallabies on Magnetic Island! How freaking cute!!!
 They came right up to us and ate out of our hands
 Look at the baby!!!
 Pretty much the perfect view...could I ask for more?
 The whole group on top of the mountian!
 Breathtaking!
 Wild Koalas!!!
 White Water Rafting on the Tully River!

 We did the Extreme White Water Rafting, so of course we chanted Extreme constantly throughout the whole day! haha

 Anders and I were the only ones who wanted to go! But totally worth it!
 It was also beautiful, the mountains, trees, and a couple waterfalls!
 We wanted to find something that was relaxing and wouldnt take much energy, but was still fun and we got to see the sites.  We saw this brochure for Aussie Drifterz! It was so much fun! We drifted down a creek on a tube, in the middle of the Australia Rain Forest...I mean what else could you ask for!! If anyone is ever in Cairns, this is one thing that I would totally suggest doing!!!
 Life is rough....
 We also got to make natural body paints, from rocks.  It was very cool, you just have to get a certain rock, and get it wet, and it was almost like a chalk.  As you can see we painted each other.... :)
 There were a couple small rapids along the way, which made it even more fun!
 The hostel we stayed at in Cairns, gave us a free meal at a nearby bar.  Each night we would go there and eat, then they would have an activity going on.  Tuesday night was Trivia Night.  The winner got 100$.  Luckily we had 8 people from around the world, so we worked together (and maybe had a little help from someone back at college googling the answers :)  We were the Extreme Dream Team, and WE WON!!!  It was really exciting!  Most of the people at the bar really hated us because we excessively celebrated after each correct answer, but which made it more fun!!!
 It was also Hawaiian Night
 Outside the sky diving place before we left!
 Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef!
 The fish and coral were SO colorful!! The pictures do not do them justice!!!


 These fish were crazy colorful!!! I couldn't hardly believe all the colors that were on one fish!!
 Crystal Clear Water and White Sand :)
 Did I mention how rough life was? :)
