Cairns - The capital of tropical Queensland

New shoes for our car and Eva. Which are more expensive? ;-)

Must be British humor. This statue was standing on one of the main highways of Cairns...

We had to continue the Spackparade on our own.

Eva and her new dress... Isn´t she beautiful?

Late night swimming in the crocodile free pool of the Cairns Esplanade



German jumping crocodile...

Good Bye Kathi and Thorsten

Our car was almost rolling on Kathi´s and Thorsten´s tent. Luckily nothing happend and they are both alive.

It was time to bring order to a big chaos...  ;-)

Time to say goodye... It was an odysse till both got to Australia but in the end we had a real great and super funny time with you! Thank you so much for visiting us.

You can't shave those hairs anymore...

Also the hairdresser was desperate

By Thorsten... ;-)

The beach at Port Douglas...

Fun in the water. With 22° a little bit cold. For Australian wintertime (12.08.2011) it was not too bad.

We don´t understand. Can you tell us?

As always: Australia is dangerous!!!!!

And far away from the rest of the world!

Our next destination is even further away...

Cathedral Fig Tree and more

The Cathedral Fig Tree... One of the most impressive trees we have ever seen.

This tree has a cruel history... What you can see on those pictures is a fig variety that grows on branches of a tree and sends roots down to the ground and then slowly kills the host tree.



It was as big as a coach.

Kathi and Thorsten cooked at Lake Eacham and we were the judges of this Masterchef challenge. ("Masterchef" is a nice Australian cooking programme that we watched all the time in the roadhouse)

A highlight for the "Schweizer Käsemäuse" Kathi and Thorsten. Meanwhile thats a part of our daily life.

Kathili wants trys to wake up Thorsten...
