Day 278 – Shopping Frenzy


  • Cairns
  • 29°c

Happy Birthday Skipper!
The alarm blasted us awake, Again! We were up and organized ready to head off nice and early today as we had a lot of stuff to organize in Cairns. 


Felicity and Paul had booked a spot for us, next to them at the caravan park in Cairns, we checked in pretty early and set up in record time. After a quick chat we headed off armed with our shopping list to get us ready to hit the road up to Cape York. The day was spent picking up supplies including a roof basket for the car, swags, cb radio, camping gear for Rach & Troy and I even managed to squeeze in a quick trip to Spotlight to restock! Last stop was groceries and the car was absolutely full to bursting point, Ella & Occy couldn’t even put their feet on the floor!



Back at camp we unpacked everything and Steve gave the car a quick wash as she was soo filthy from the last few days. We thought it would be a good idea to set up one of the swags so we had some idea for when we went up the Cape, it was really quite simple and really comfy, I’m looking forward to camping by the billabong under the stars!


The idea of a swim was great after a hot day in and out of the car, but in reality it was freezing. Ella & Oscar still went in and Steve eventually got half in but it was too cold for me. 


We had dinner with Paul & Felicity and spent the evening chatting and laughing,  it was a really great evening with such lovely people, the kids watched Rise of The Guardians. It’s a shame we’re heading in opposite directions but we exchanged details and will definitely catch up with them again.
