Australia is the home of "Action Chrissy"

Australia, and it's glorious sunshine have provided  an excellent excuse for me to reconnect with an old love, nature. And in doing so, I've discovered all the fun and adventurous  things you can do in the land down under. First things first, I bought  an action bathing suit. You'll  see it in the photos, bright neon Speedo. (Did you know the Speedo logo is actually a boomerang?) Then, sometimes with Jim beside me, and sometimes on my own, I got to:

Paddle board at Lake Eacham

Climb trees in the Atherton Tablelands (a formerly volcanic landscape,  think Hawaii, but tens of thousands of years older)

Barefoot Tours Atherton Tablelands March 7th

And also hide behind Dinner Falls, film mock Herbal Essences  commercials at Milla Milla Falls, and enjoy the rock slide at Paradise Falls. Note that you'll have to follow the link on these as our waterproof camera decided after the Great Barrier Reef it had given up on us and let the salt water jam it's doors shut.

 Also:

Went night hiking on Magnetic Island

Rode a horse bareback in the surf of Horseshoe Bay on Magnetic Island 

Went adventure sailing on a retired race boat in the Whitsundays 

As a side note, Australia, being an island continent, is a little behind the times on internet, so we probably won't be posting super frequently, unless things pick up  as we hit the bigger cities further south.
