From Brisbane to Cairns...


The Creation of Precious Kaleidoscope

As the last week of our farm experience passed, Jordan and I began discussing where to go next and how to get there. The decision for a location was Cairns in far north tropical Queensland and the method of transport we chose was a good old fashioned camper van relocation courtesy of our good friends at Apollo van rentals (remember team Apollo folks?).

As we Canadians are so fond of saying..........................ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The trip from Brisbane to Cairns is a beautiful 1700km journey along the Australian East Coast, but in order to make it economically viable we needed a few traveling companions. Thus the creation of Precious kaleidoscope; consisting of members Jordan, Caroline, Sarah, Hayne and myself. I'm sure you're wondering about the name, the truth is like many things in this trip, it makes no sense! Just a simple boredom induced collaboration of minds between Jordan and Sarah. But we thank them whole heartedly.

We had 3 days to do it and the memories piled up with the miles. Nights in the camper watching Family Guy, games of sociables over boxes of goon and good old fashioned road trip music and conversation. This would be the beginning of an adventure that would continue through Cairns...
