A more complete entry

Before going into the details, let us just say that we have finally found the Australian paradise for computer nerds and ocean freaks: a beautiful caravan park with absolute beachfront and, amazingly, free wireless internet connection! So, because there is no 9 minute time limit, we will finally be able to give a bit more details about the current state of the nation.

First things first: the campervan. We've been writing a lot about our Wicked van, but what does it actually look like? Here it is:

This is our home since a bit more than a month, and will be for the rest of June.

Now back to the trip. Queensland, the northeastern part of Australia, is definitely "croc zone". Especially the salties, as they are called, are the ones that prefer a tasty human arm or leg then and again. As always, the danger is overrated - for example, between 1990 and 2001, there have been nine substantiated crocodile attacks on people in Queensland, resulting in one death and eight serious injuries. Here's the culprit:

Thank goodness for the fence. That picture was taken at the crocodile farm near Yeppoon.

Now to less edacious animals: tortoises and platypus (platypuses? platypussies?) We spotted them in the Eungella national park. Did I say less edacious? Actually, a platypus eats its own weight in 14 hours! Imagine if we humans were as hungry hungry as that! Here they are:

and

(ok, that's not the best picture you've ever seen of a platypus, but at least it's genuine)

After leaving the Whitsunday area (the one with the 74 islands), we headed north to Townsville. Townsville had a beautiful beachfront called "The Strand", so we stayed there a while before heading further north to Cairns (you didn't expect us to head from national park to national park just because we're biologists, now did you?) We are now back on our way south and got stuck in a place called Mission Beach. We're gonna stay here for a while before heading west into the Outback.

Despite all the beautiful beaches, it should be mentioned that the rainforests here are really quite amazing. It's inherently difficult to make good pictures in forests, but just to give you an impression, here's the best what we could come up with:

That's it for the moment. For the german or french speakers among you, here's something to laugh about (didn't know they use babelfish here):

Nicolas315:

Amazing ! The frenh translation is incredibly uncorrect. :)

The english re-translation from french gives something like that : "Warning, marine stingers are gifts [or blessed for you!] in this area". What a rapid translation...

The correct french translation should be : "Attention, la présence d'aiguillons marins est possible dans ce secteur".

Have a good trip, and
pay attention to marine stingers :)

Nicolas.
