In 2006, our Australian adventure took us to the stunning region of Queensland, where we stayed in the picturesque town of Port Douglas. Nestled between the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest, it was the perfect base for our explorations.

One of the highlights of our trip was visiting the Great Barrier Reef again, where Rob had the thrilling opportunity to go scuba diving. Descending into the vibrant underwater world, he marveled at the colorful fish and intricate coral formations, immersing himself in the beauty of the reef.

We also ventured into the ancient Daintree Rainforest, a magical place where the dense green canopy seemed to stretch forever. A trip to Cape Tribulation brought us face to face with the wild beauty of the rainforest meeting the sea, a sight we’ll never forget.

Our tour of the "Tablelands" took us through rolling hills, waterfalls, and quaint villages, offering a glimpse into the diverse landscapes of Queensland. The area’s natural beauty was truly captivating.

And, as if the trip couldn’t get any more memorable, we even had an unexpected encounter with UB40’s lead singer, Ali Campbell, at the airport! It was a surreal moment, rounding off an unforgettable journey through one of the most beautiful corners of Australia.
