Off to Darwin with 100 koala bears
My time here in Cairns is rapidly coming to a close. This evening I fly to Darwin to start readying pedal boat Moksha and the kayaks for the next leg proper.
Norlia laid on a magnificent fairwell dinner last night and I got to meet some last minute people who I regret not having met earlier. One lady from Sulawesi in Indonesia gave me some local tips about traveling through the region, including taking a couple of hundred or so miniature koala bears as gifts for the village chiefs.
The whole croc ordeal was aired quite a bit also. To see the Cairns post front page article go to -

Can I just tell you that you are my hero? You are the most amazing person I have ever met (besides my husband, of course, but that is for different reasons). I have re-read that story about 7 times and I am still amazed. Not only have you blown me away with all your PREVIOUS stories - but then to read this - I am just floored. I don't think there are enough adjectives to describe you. Courageous, intelligent and humble just don't seem enough. I have told my family and friends the story and it sounds like a tall tale. But I tell them how low-key and humble you are and that you aren't given to exaggeration. Which makes the story even that more unbelievable. Anyway enough of my blabbering - stay safe out there and know we are thinking about you all the time. I look forward to reading more about your adventures, although hopefully there is nothing more concerning life and death situations.
cheers,
Michelle
