Whitsundays: Day Forty-One (29 November)


Here we are on the ferry to Daydream Island. We needed our sun hats because it was such a hot day.

Whitsundays Day Thirty-Nine (27 November)


Here are the rainbow lorikeets being fed on South Molle Island. They are twice the size of me so I watched them from a distance.

Townsville: Day Thirty-Seven (25 November)


This is a statue of a Dugong on the Strand at Townsville. They used to be called Sea Cows (because they eat Sea Grass) and sometimes Sea Elephants. (I expect you can see why:-)).

Townsville: Day Thirty-Six (24 November)


This is part of the coral exhibition in Reef HQ. Can you see any one you recognise?

Yes, Nemo or probably his cousin as Townsville is a long way from Sydney.

Do you remember where clown fish live?

That's right - in a sea anemone. Although it looks like a plant coral is actually a living creature too.

I really enjoyed the visit to Townsville Aquarium and finding out more about the Great Barrier Reef.

Cairns: Day Thirty-One (19 November)


I really enjoyed the day on the Reef too, although I'm rather glad we didn't go in the water. They have some very big scary fish in Australia but I enjoyed seeing them in the observatory.

Cairns: Day Twenty-Seven (15 November)


I thought the wombats were really cute too. They are marsupials like koalas, which means they carry their babies in a pouch, a bit like me riding in a backpack.

I sat close to Barnaby on the skyrail because we were very high up but the views were wonderful.

Kakadu: Day Twenty-Two (10 November)


Kakadu was amazing, even if it was scary sometimes. Everything in Australia is so much bigger than me - even the musical instruments!

We had a traditional Aussie barbq for lunch today. There were wallabies all around the site.

Kakadu: Day Twenty (8 November)


We were the only British people on the tour but we made some good friends from other countries. There were three couples from Denmark, one Belgium couple (who did manage to stay in lodges rather than tents), three Dutch friends and six French people who had their own translator.

Kakadu: Day Nineteen (7 November)


The flowers in Kakadu National Park are very pretty and I liked the birds but I didn't like the crocodiles either.

I went on the tour of Broome too. This is me on the camel on Cable Beach.

Broome: Day Fifteen (3 November)



This is Barnaby and me on the plane to Broome. Because the plane was little, it flew quite low down and we could see land most of the way. The views were amazing.
