Mission Beach is only 140 km. from Cairns so we had a slow morning, went for a swim in the ocean and drove around in the area hoping to see a cassowary. There are lots of warning signs for these birds and even where they cross the street they put up a little warning sign that it's a "cassowary crossing". But, to bad, we didn't see them or hit them with the van. Because they are listed as very dangerous, we thought running over them with the Wicked van was the safest way to take a picture. Keep in mind we are IT blokes, not Steve Irwin.
OK, everyone knows the movie "The Blues Brothers". At the end where they reach the taxation office, they park the Blues Mobile and it falls apart. That was what we expected from our Wicked camper-van, NOT. After 10 days without a decent sleep, both snoring, both having a cold and both to old for back-pack stuff we are the ones that fall apart. We've checked in at a hostel in Cairns and hired a complete dorm room with 6 beds so we have 3 mattresses and 3 pillows each.
