Brisbane Museum by night and by day.. Yeah, I spend some time wondering around in the museum..escaping the sun :-/
Ho ho ho its gonne be X-mass soon!!Look at this massive tree!

!!! JUMPED THE 50m Bungeeee!!


20 years ago back in 86 Hackett introduced the world bungeejumping and yeeeeas we all saw the video of the guy whos rope was too long and unfortunately he didnt survive...Twenty years I've been wondering how it would be to do a jump and feel the FreeFall... YES I choose to jump in a nice beautiful setting and go for the max. of 50 meter at the other side of the world and it was unF*believable great!



50 meters down .. thats DEEP...oohhssshhiiitt I feel thousand butterflies in my body..uhhhhh








Yes I am confident enough, I will jump! sign the papers darl' and the freefall jump is yours!










Look at the view!!!! I can see the ocean!


Ow I loooovveee flying....




Yeeeeeeaaahhhhhh I did it!!! and it awesome! ******waaaaaahhhhh the adrenalineeeee ******

Saturday: Goodbye Cairns and fly to Brisbane

Goodbye Cairns!










This day I spend few hours in Cairns chilling out at the Esplanade and shopping for a bit and preparing for my domestic flight later in the afternoon..I will have a 2000km to go to Brisbane and was more convenient to fly than go all the way by bus or train. But before I leave Cairns I must see the Bungeejumpsite/museum of A.J.Hackett (the guy who started the bungeejumping - remember he got arrested after jumping the Eiffeltower in Paris)




So a quick look around before my flight will just fit in my schedule, tooo bad I will not have the time to jump...









Enjoying a cup of "long black" coffee and take some pictures...owww...look at this enchanting site!!! Wouldnt you like to jump??



but I am in a hurry . . . flight to Brisbane will depart at 17:00

River cruise along the jungle: sneaky crocs hiding, beware!











Cape Tribulation beach






I can simply not understand that Cape Tribulation beach is empty...
(its low season here said the tourguide)
Too bad we only spend like 10 minutes here otherwise I would go for a swim!
