All in all it was a perfect and beautiful day with a very nice and funny tour guide! A little bit longer at the beach would have been great but it was the fault of the traffic jam haha!
I just finished my amazing 28 day Australia East Coast trip. This trip provides you with a lot of great highlights, if you have an open mind about activities. You can experience and collect a lot of moments as i did and you will never forget this. I promise. Only a few highlights of this trip: -the breathtaking landscapes you can see at the Costal walks in Sydney or in Noosa. -the beach in Byron Bay. Less people and a good place to relaxe and recharging yourself after the first days of traveling. -explore Kgari (Fraser Island) in 4x4-vehicles. Bumby and sandy roads,swiming in Lake McKenzie and Elli Creek We saw a lot of wild dingos and I have never seen such an incredible spangled sky. -Start the 3-days-Whitsunday sailing trip during rain with the development to an storm. But with an incredible crew and the funniest tour leader i have ever met,Paula, we managed this and after the storm comes the calm. Nevertheless,thanks Paula for being the tower of strength in this moment‚ -Skydiving in Mission Beach -And last but not least the experience of scuba diving for the first time. I mean, is there any better place like the famous Great Barrier Reef for a first time experience? The answer for me is No A huge Thank you to Paula Kallinen for all the funny moments during the last 18 days. And also for all of the incredible conversations we had during this time. It was great to see and to hear, that you really love your job and shared this with us. Youre the best And also thanks to Jay and Molly for the first 10 days. It was a pleasure to meet you guys.
The 3 areas visited were fabulous. The falls at Wangi, Florence and Edith all had different aspects that made them appealing, the Yellow waters wetlands cruise and the Katherine Gorge cruise were amazing. Ubirr and Nourlangie rock art a highlight. Food varied from average to superb, but that’s part of being sometimes in some very remote areas. To have had some top quality food on offer in the lodges and on the gorge cruise was very impressive. Accommodations were fine, again, it’s the situation. The standout in this respect was Cicada Lodge in Katherine National Park (though despite food quality there being generally top notch, their food service wasn’t great).
