Day 15 : Travel to Cairns

Today woke up at the farm stay, packed up yet again and had a quick breakfast. We said good bye to the Lyons family and headed out on the road again. On our way out of their 10 mile driveway we spotted many kangaroos, cattle and one of their camels.

Our day today is a driving day to our final destination on Cairns. Lunch was on our own in the capital of Queensland, Townsville. And we made a few short stops along the way. Lots of sugarcane and bananas on this leg of the trip.

We arrived in Cairns around 6:45 and had a hosted dinner by the local Girl Guides (think Girl Scouts). We were all extremely happy to find out they switched their meal plan from BBQ to Mexican. We've had tooooo much beef on this trip and all had been craving Mexican and Italian foods. The girls were great and had a trivia game planned for us to play. We then headed to our hotel for the rest of our trip. Three nights in Cairns before heading back to the U.S.
