G’day Mates!

After countless hours fretting and packing, I’ve made it Cairns, Australia. It’s hot, and beautiful, and Australians really are whacky and love their beer.
Orientation has been a week long adventure, giving us a taste of what we can expect for the rest of the trip. After we finally start to get used to the heat of Cairns, we traveled to the Atherton Tablelands, where it’s much cooler unless you are in the rainforest, which of course, we were. We’ve already had the opportunity to hold koalas, pet baby crocodiles, and feed kangaroos and wallabies. We even saw tree Kangaroos and a platypus on a night time canoe in Yungaburra.
We will be settling into our homestays soon, so expect an update then!
