Spring Breakout (2:17)

"Oh, please. I’ve been drinking since before you were born. So if alcohol’s the reason I’m here, I got news for you, bub. It’s the only reason you’re here, too."


I've made it up the East coast! I just got to Cairns the other day and it's party central. Spring Break ALL the time! My friend Tom and his mate are up here right now too so we're soaking up the beach, the drinks and the beautiful people. "Don't call my escorts 'whores'."

From Airlie Beach I boarded an old wooden ship, unfortunately not called Diversity, and we set sail for the Whitsunday Islands. I spent three days on the ship and it was awesome. We saw pure whitesand beaches, slept below deck, and went snorkeling in a couple different reefs. Met some Canadians, Irish, and English. Typical.

After living the life in Airlie Beach I went to the small coastal town of Cardwell. I was in it now. Giant green tree frogs in the bathroom, geckos all over the walls, and butterflies everywhere. I took a boat shuttle out to Hinchinbrook Island to do a 4 day trek on the Thorsborne Trail. It was absolutely amazing! Sleeping on remote tropical beaches and hiking through rainforest to get to waterfalls and swimming holes. It was a really surreal experience because I really felt like I was on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean. It felt like a movie probably because it was. So far I have been to filming locations for Castaway, Nim's Island, and Fool's Gold. So watch those, or don't, and think of me. Laying on the beach and listening to the light ripple of the waves and the tropical parrots chirping away. Holler.

I think I will spend a week or so up here partying hard and taking advantage of the perfect weather. Someday here I will book a boat out to the Great Barrier Reef to do some snorkeling and maybe diving! My camera has gone to shit for some reason. I have most of the pictures up to now and they are on my website! Check out all the sweetness.
