Must Do: Daintree Rainforest
In 2020, during those awful Covid times, when nobody could travel interstate or overseas and my passport was looking sadder by the day, my friend Lainie and I decided to hit the road. We used the Transfer Car website to transfer a van from Brisbane to Cairns. For just a $1 a day, we drove up the coast exploring little towns, coffee shops and maybe also eating a pie at every bakery. It was the best getaway for a time where getaway's weren't really encouraged. The only thing we had to make sure was that the van had fuel in it (sometimes, forgetting that part and living life on the edge a little bit). We had enjoyed the trip so much so far that when arriving to Cairns, we swapped our Transfer Car for a Traveller's AutoBarn Van (which we now had to pay more than $1 a day for) and kept driving up north.

For times immemorial, we've shared our world with a wild bunch of critters, adding tonnes of colour and rhythm to our lives. Some cool mammals are like our BFFs—smart and sociable, just like us. Dolphins and apes, our animal cousins, win us over with their brains and cuteness. Their cute clicks and flips are totally unique. And let's not forget Flipper, the dolphin superstar! In the early '60s, this American TV show charmed millions with Flipper, the bottlenose dolphin. Since then, bottlenose dolphins have ruled the dolphin kingdom like rockstars! Bottlenose dolphins are the shining stars of the warm tropical waters, especially in the Indian Ocean. When it comes to spotting these dolphins, Nelson Bay, Australia, takes the spotlight. Here, you can catch them frolicking near the wharf or hop on a Port Stephens dolphin cruise. However, keep in mind that since dolphin watching in Nelson Bay is renowned worldwide, you'll likely have some company of fellow dolphin lovers so plan your trip early!
