Day 8: May 30

Day 8: May 30

Had a bright and early departure from Sydney this morning. I wish we could have stayed longer but the time there we had was awesome. The flight to Cairns was rather rough and we hit a bit of turbulence, probably the most turbulence I have experienced.

We arrived to Cairns around noon and headed to the Tjapukai Cultural Centre. We got to learn about the Tjapukai people, an Aboriginal tribe. The events included a dancing ceremony, spear and boomerang throwing and a didgeridoo demonstration. We all got to take a shot at throwing the boomerangs, and yes they do come back if you throw them right :)

The weather in Cairns is rather disappointing. We were hoping for some sunshine and beaches and we were met with rain clouds and chilly weather. Hopefully tomorrow it is sunny for our great barrier reef visit!!

We enjoyed some authentic sea food down by the water at Tha Fish. I ate some coral trout, and tried mussels as well.

1. Didgeridoo playing
2. Airplane ride
3. Spear throwing

Until tomorrow mates!!
