Oceania Day 12
Last Day in Cairns
Our time in another city had come to an end, and to finish off we looked around a wildlife dome situated above a casino.
Oceania Day 11
Back on Land
This was the day we journeyed back to land, paid the reef tax, and went out for one last meal with the friends we'd made whilst diving with Scuba Steve.
Oceania Day 8
Diving Day 2
Another day in the classroom, and also practicing some of the Open Water skills we'd need for this PADI qualification.
Oceania Day 7
Diving Day 1
As we were in Cairns, it meant we were close to the Great Barrier Reef. It felt like it made sense to learn how to scuba dive whilst there so we could get even closer to the reef afterwards. For our first day most of the time was spent in the classroom.
Oceania Day 6
Into the Rainforest
To save on money we'd booked another overnight flight to Cairns; but it meant by the time we'd arrived in the city for a tour of Kuranda we were very sleep-deprived. To get to the rainforest we took a cable car up through the trees, then explored the village before taking the train back.
