IRC - Game Over...
As many of you know, we have been over in Ypres, Belgium for the Intercontinental Rally Championship (IRC). Now many people may not have heard of the IRC, as for most, the word Rally or Rallying is associated with the more well known WRC. However in recent years the IRC has gone from feeder series to the WRC, to perhaps the most popular and viewed rally in the world.
Average Joes Blog was there as...

Queensland, Australia – Day 4. The day we caught...
Our last full day in Queensland, and I can’t believe it’s gone so quickly!!
Although the weather has been great, with sun shining most days, because you find yourself jumping in and out of wetsuits / stinger suits, the sunshine doesn’t always get to see your skin! But today was the day we saw the sun!

Queensland Australia - Day 3. The day we met Greg
With such a lovely setting and the copious amounts of food from the previous day, a strangely weird decision for an early morning was a good one! Leaving the sunshine, sea crashing and birds to wake me up, I headed down to the beach for a run on the untouched sand and some really great sun. Couple of pictures of the amazing setting below.
After a quick bite for breakfast looking out over the sea...

Queensland, Australia - Day 1
Even though technically I landed on Tuesday, yesterday, Wednesday was my first full day in Queensland, so I am starting my story here (and I fell asleep so didn’t write up the first half day!).
It is hard to describe yesterday, it was a varied and amazing day, and given all the different aspects, it seems to be typical of what Cairns, and Queensland has to offer. After a tired and rushed breakfast...

Cairns Tropical Zoo
So we have been in Cairns, Queensland for some 7 hours now. No time for sleep though, a quick walk along the waterfront, and the Lagoon (nice sights…) and we were off to Cairns Tropical Zoo, around 20 minutes from the town centre.
With a range of animals from Crocs to Koalas, and Wallabys to Wombats, you are unlikely to be allowed to get more hands on in any average zoo!
And even if you...
