Cairns to Cape Tribulation and then in land to Normanton

On our travels in Northern Queensland along the stunning coast we came across a man selling hang gliding trips. His dog also has done 20 trips and you can check them out on youtube.

We stayed for a couple of nights in Wonga and saw this huge female golden orb spider.

This is Edwina a lovely spectacled fruit bat who lives in Bat Hut at Cape Tribulation. She was hanging upside down but we've turned the picture around so you can see her lovely face!

This is Noah's beach - beautiful but dangerous as salties (crocs) can be in the water.

A crazy tree in the amazing rainforest.

We went on a trip on the Daintree river and saw loads of great stuff including this tiny croc that is a year old.

We also saw Beatrice.

After leaving the coast we made our way into the hot dusty outback and stopped in Undura Volcanic National Park to do a tour of the lava tubes. They were 160km long - the longest in the world.

This is Nic with Krys, a replica of the biggest croc ever seen. He was almost 9 metres long and was killed by a female crocodile hunter in the 1950's. He now 'lives' in Normanton.

We are on our way to Alice Springs and we should be there in about a week. There is practically nothing on the way so the then next blog should be short!!!
