Day 12 & 13 Atherton tablelands Waterfall & waterholes with Uncle Brian Tour + departing to Darwin

Yesterday was a fun day. I joined a tour to visit the Atherton Tablelands. The tour consisted in going to different places, have a swim, eat, go to another location and so on. But it was all done in a funny way. The tour guide, cousin Rohan¿? Was constantly doing jokes, making everyone involved in games and activities, creating a great atmosphere, so the time in GUS THE BUS was as fun as the time out. It was a good laugh, and it didn't matter in rained hard part of the trip.
We visited and had a swim.
Devil's hole pool.

Millaa Millaa Waterfall. Including a "Timotei moment" I'll try to upload the the picture
Volcanic crater Lake Eacham

After all that swim, we went as well for a platypus spotting, where believe or not, I was able to spot a couple of them , and even take a couple of pictures. After that a bit of Didgeridoo play. And back to Cairns. On the way back, it was amaisying to see, thousand of huge fruit bat going back to the rain forest, after spending the day in the mango and banana plantations.

Today, day 13, it has been all about packing, getting things ready for the Darwin trip (i had to make the backpack weigth less than 10-12kg for the first part of the trip), and relaxing a bit in Cairns. So i stayed in the lagoon, an open swimming pool area with sea water, with BBQs, lawn to lay down quietly, read a book, picnic etc.
My flight was at 19:30. So i had sometime to spend have a beer or 2, while taking a good read to Angel & Demons, the book i picked up for this trip.
