Dunk Island

Hey, I had been neglecting my travel blog lately so I wanted to post something each day of the week( I came close) Well here is another post. It is a review of our visit to Dunk Island. We took the water taxi from mission beach to dunk island and had a great time! Dunk island has a lot to offer from tubing, water skiing about 50 other water sports, golfing and more. It is such an awesome island to visit and it is a shame we only had a half day there. If you ever go stay for a while in the hotel, oh and before you go read the whole review and check out all my pictures - Dunk Island Review

Australian Butterfly Sanctuary

We visited the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary and had a blast. This was the third attraction that we saw while we were in Kuranda. The Australian Butterfly Sanctuary provides some great photo oppurtunities and would be the experience of a lifetime for any butterfly enthusiast. We spent about and hour there, you can read the full review and see all the pictures here Australian Butterfly Sanctuary Review

Koala Garden - Visit and Review

Visit and Review Kuranda Koala Gardens

While we were staying in Australia we decided to visit Kuranda. After visiting Kuranda Birdworld we visited the Kuranda Koala Garden. My girlfriend had wanted to hold a Koala Bear since we had gotten to Australia but we never really got the chance before and I heard you could do it at the Koala Garden. I figured it would be some overpriced cash grab with some dyeing Koala Bear. Wrong! We were greeted by the cutest Koala bears we had ever seen I HAVE MOVED MY BLOG (the new one is much better) TO READ THE REST OF THIS POST CHECK IT OUT ON MY NEW BLOG - KOALA GARDEN VISIT AND REVIEW - I left the pictures up though, for the whole story check out my new and improved blog. Thanks :D

We also visited the Kuranda Birdworld on the same day and the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary.

Travel Stimulus offer to Australia

Want a Cheap flight from Canada to Australia?

Ok so right now I want to take hot needles and JAM THEM INTO MY EYE SOCKETS!! Why?? Because I just saw an ad, on my own blog, about a travel stimulus package to Australia! GOSH DARN IT. I might have to go back. I left for Australia from Canada October 2008 and it cost me $1200 for a one way ticket to Melbourne. Then to come back it cost me $1400 for a one way ticket. Mind you we did stop over in Japan but that was the flight path anyways so we just took advantage of it. So when I was in Australia I heard talks of a travel stimulus package and it looks like it's in place now. Why would I want to stick hot needles into my eye balls? ROUND TRIP FLIGHTS STARTING AT $1000 are you kidding me. I could have saved a tonne of money if I had a deal like that. Which would have been more money I could have spent when I was in Australia, on important things like beer and my girlfriends expensive spending habits!

Oh well, if you are thinking about going to Australia take my word for it, DO IT and do it now, these prices wont last forever!

A few months my girlfriend and I visited BirdWorld in Kuranda with a few friends. BirdWorld is located in beautiful Kuranda approximately a half hour from Cairns, Queensland.
