Since the last post which was actually written nearly four weeks ago but not published until today we spent our time in the van fluctuating between inland rainforest/waterfalls/incredible mountainscapes and beach stays with glorious sunrises and time in the water.
This has meant we have come accross many different animals be it on foot or in the van including a fleeting glimpse of a wild cassowary which led to a hasty three point turn and me very nearly getting the van stuck on a greasy bank in my haste

A moody sky looking over Govetts leap in the Blue mountains

Our view of the solar eclipse from byron bay beach

A kangaroo and her almost too big joey at one of our campsites

A wallaby checking us out

An evening spent at Mon Repos beach watching the Loggerheads come and lay their eggs

A fortunate encounter with a duck billed platypus in the wild

Me jumping into a slightly cold mountain watering hole called the wheel of fire

A metre long lace monitor on one of the many bush walks we did

Two shots of Estuarine crocs that we were lucky enough to see on a boat trip along the Daintree river up in the tropical north

And finally the cassowary that nearly left us stuck

 

 

The last few days have found us at Cheryl and Marks house enjoying there incredible hospitality

I'll try and post again before we leave Oz if i can, due to go and stay out on the Great barrier reef for a couple of days tmw and then fly to NZ on thursday

Hope you're all well, speak to you soon
