Today i went on a day trip all over the tablelands just by Cairns. After going south out of the city, we went up the mountains on a rode that consisted of more then 90 turns...fortunately i did not feel too sick after the ride up there. We visited crater lake and the millaa millaa waterfalls along with the Curtain fig tree and a crocodile farm. It was a really great trip except that the weather was really rainy which made it really cold and unpleasent to go swimming under the waterfall. Im hoping i get another chance to go back up there when it gets warmer.
the crocodile farm was interesting because we got to watch them feed some of them which was really cool and they showed us how you can't even see them when they are in the water even if they are only a few feet in front of you. Scary! but later we found out that the farm is actually a breeding farm in which they sell the baby crocs that they breed to be killed for their meat and to make stuff like purses and boots and what not. I really wasn't ok with that because by going there and paying to see the place, i was supporting them which id rather not do. but anyways, it was still cool to see the massive crocs in a pen of course.
Here's the link to all the days pictures! http://picasaweb.google.com.au/eaglchk/WalkaboutAdventure?authkey=Gv1sRgCIb_s-ainbXHFg#
