Thursday 13th November (part 2): Alice Springs to Cairns to Port Douglas

We had a two and a bit hour flight to Cairns (plus losing half an hour due to the timezone change).
A very chatty driver brought us up to Port Douglas, which took nearly an hour and a half. We’ve checked into our studio apartment (got here about 10), which is our base for the next week. It’ll be nice to not be on the move write as much as we have been the last few days.

Thursday 13th November (part 1): Kings Canyon to Alice Springs

Early today again this morning – up at 5. We wanted to get going as early as possible to do part of the rim walk (up to the edge of the canyon) before it got too warn (today’s forecast is for 42 degrees).
It was a fairly steep climb with some fantastic views.
We then had a 470km drive to get back to Alice Springs. Were currently at the airport, waiting to be able to check in for our flight to Cairns.
