A Week In Cairns

About a month previous to the Easter Holiday (April 3 - 11), the UW people started planning for the week that we would have to really sink our teeth into what Australia has to offer. We decided, but not at the same time, to go to Cairns. Some of the people were going to be skydiving, bungee jumping, and whitewater rafting, while myself and a few others would be SCUBA diving on the Great Barrier Reef and then checking out the rainforests in the area.

For me, the plan was to arrive on Sunday morning, take it easy for two days, head out on the reef from Tuesday to Thursday, come back for a day and then do a day-long tour of the Daintree Rainforest, the Daintree River, and surrounding area. For the most part, that's exactly what happened.

It was overcast and rainy for the first few days that we were there, but it cleared up for the rest of the trip
