Queensland, Australia - November 2001

| Views of Sydney | ||

|
| Nice digs at the Palm Royale Hotel in Cairns. | ||
|
|
|
| I rented a bike a day before the REI-organized portion of the trip and explored some of the coastline north of the city. | Whereever a river reaches the ocean: "Keep out of the water and stay away from the water's edge." Crocodiles! | |

|
|
| A bit of downtown Cairns, from the oceanside park walk. | ||
|
|
|
| Aboard the train to Karunda... | ||
|
|
|
| Karunda falls... at the end of the dry season. It's quite an amazing gorge as it is, but apparently that whole thing cascades in water during the wet season. | ||
