driving australia

for the past few days luis and i have been driving up the eastern coast of australia from brisbane on our way to cairns (pronounced cannes). we lucked out an got an automatic van which has been great because i don't know how to drive manual and luis was going to have to teach me on the trip. =) it hasn't been bad driving on the opposite side of the road. luis has only switched over two or three times to hit a kangaroo and a small child.

we stayed one night in a parking lot in a small town called miriam vale. and then we crashed in a campervan park in airlie beach last night (we had to pay but it was nice to take a shower). we were hoping to see more of the coast on the way up but actually the landscape looks a lot like driving on major interstates in texas/arkansas/oklahoma. we've seen a ton of dead kangaroos on the side of the road which is kind of sad.

we've made it to airlie beach for our three day sailing trip and are leaving in a few hours. i will post pics of that trip as soon as i can.
