Amazing tropical get-a-way

It started on a cold Canberra morning (obviously). We were all packed and ready for our flight to Brisbane to see Ryan's Brother and his family and Ryan's mum, then my Dad and Jo.

We got into Brisbane and picked up our rental car which was suprizingly nice. And headed to James (Ryan's Brothers house). We saw Parker's Aunty Lise, cousin Ben (below) and met for the first time the beautiful Ben.

Parker had his first encounters with living with doggys and was actually pretty good in the end!

Going for a walk before fish and chips with Nanna

After Brisbane we boarded another plane and flew to Townsville.

We stayed with Ryan's Brother Marc and his family and it was lovely!

We then drove all the way up to Port Douglas leaving at the sharp hour of 5am. It just so happened that Parker was also experiencing some irritable bowel issue this day and we left a few lovely droppings in Tully...thanks!

(sorry again, i cant fix these ones on the side)

So after a 5 hr journey and a few stops and naps we made it to the magestic Port Douglas.

We stayed at Paradise Links (just stunning)

Parker enjoyed the facilities

Sorry, Im rushing but if i don't i will never get this done!
So we saw crocadiles, koalas, kangaroos and lots of little spiders...

We had some rainforest adventures (not involving warthogs like my childhood adventures but fun never the less)

 

Love to you all and I will try and post some photos of Ryan's 30th soon!
