Last week I met a local while running, he was training for the Cairns Ironman in june and after having a 8 km run with him I thought to myself, it's time.
We are only up here for 12 months so we want to make sure that we create some memories and experience what FNQ has to offer.
So here are a couple things I've done since. This clip is of a friend of mine catching a Sweetlips off the reef of Palm Cove.
I'm running the GoPro.
Easter weekend my parents came up from Adelaide and we brought them up Skyrail to Kuranda and returned via the train back through the mountains to Freshwater. Periodically you could see down the cliffs to the Barron gorge and some amazing waterfalls and swimming wholes.
So today, I got on my Azzurri and cycled from Port Douglas to Barron Gorge where I met up with a couple friends. We hiked up the river bouldering along the river banks for about an hour when we can to a great swimming spot and waterfall cliff jump. To our surprise we looked up and saw the train slowly creeping past us on the cliffs high above.

The first cliff face about 1/3rd up is where the boys jumped from which is about 10m
