Ellis Beach

After a big day exploring Cape Tribulation and the Daintree we headed back down south to camp for the night. The kids had a ball riding in each other's cars and talking on the CB radio to each other. There was a bit of excitment when riding back across on the punt and we spotted our first crocodile swimming in the river, After a while communication died off from one car, when Cody and Sarah, who were exhausted caught a bit of shut eye - mind you Cody is still trying to tell us that he didn't fall asleep!

We camped the night at Ellis Beach, just above Cairns - what a place for Arnold, Vicky, Jake and Sarah to spend their last night in Australia! It was BEAUTIFUL here. Unfortunately Aidan picked up a stomach bug and did not have a good night and was too sick to play much the next day. We spent most of next day at Ellis Beach with the others while Arn and Vicky packed up all their stuff so that could fly to NZ that night. It was very sad saying good-bye to them, we had a great time with them all and we wished we could have met them sooner so we could have spent more time together. It is a shame we live on opposite sides of the world as they have become great friends, but we will just have to plan a trip to Canada!
