Ocean Lady has arrived in Australia

> Dear all,
>
> The title says it all, we have safely arrived in Australia. We managed to eat all the fruit and veg onboard so very little was confiscated by customs an immigration, who have a reputation for being strict. They almost took our tuna and pasta bake that Laura had cooked for supper.
> After a couple of drinks ashore we retired for a full nights sleep.
>
> Cairns is a fantastic, lively town, set up for back packers and tourists. It is nice to get back to civilisation with reasonable phone call costs, and access to spares.
>
> Today we have taken the scenic rail up to Kuranda. Then caught the cable car down over the rain forest. A lovely relaxed town with quirky Market stores.
> Margaret and Laura had a cuddle with a koala, we fed kangaroos and kept well away from the snakes!
>
> We plan to be in Cairns until the weekend before heading north towards Cape York.
>
> Take care,
> Love Ocean Lady
