Up again early for our 7.20 pick up, Conny again joining me which is cool.
Jimi our guide for the day greeted everyone with a hug. And amazingly after 5 minutes of meeting all 20 of us he could remember all of our names and where we were from. Jimi was an absolute legend all day, so funny and always getting everybody involved. By far the best tour guide I've ever had.
We had about an hour to our first stop at Lake Eacham. Jimi had developed a nipple rating system for how cold the water was going to be and our first was a 4.5 apparently. Probably about right because once you were in for a minute or so it was Ok. On the way to Lake Eacham we stopped off to see a 500 year old Strangler Fig Tree called the Cathedral, it was absolutely huge, big enough that all 20 of us could get inside of it for a photo.
From there we went to a little town called xxxxxx which has the biggest wooden pub in the southern hemisphere, I love it how they always boat about the having the best things in the southern hemisphere, they haven't exactly got much competition.
From there to Dinner Falls and The Crater, The Crater was exactly how it sounds and on the way Jimi had picked up a rock to throw into the water below, the sound was absolutely immense. At Dinner Falls (9 on the nipple rating) one of the guys did his ice bucket challenge and then jumped into the water, amazing place to do it. This was definitely sine of the coldest water I have ever been in, as soon as you touched it you wanted to get back out.
From there we headed to Millaa Millaa falls which is an amazingly beautiful waterfall where apparently the L'Oréal hair flick commercial was filmed, as was Peter Andres music video. Definitely the highlight of Australia for me was swimming underneath the waterfall standing the other side and seeing lots of little rainbows, absolutely stunning.
Then on to Josephine Falls for our last swim of the day, here there is a natural water slide in the rocks which is so cool to go down.
An absolute amazing day.
On the night most of the group meet up at PJ O'Briens for food and drinks which was so much fun, meet some really cool people on this trip.
Definitely one of the best days I've had in oz and what a way to finish my oz trip.
