Note: Daniel has been writing in a journal book each day, and gave me (Dad) permission to type it out and put in a blog post. I’ve reproduced it accurately, but keep in mind this is just from his personal handwritten journal.

On the 30th of June we left to go on a big trip around Australia for six months. So of we went. We traveled for 2 and a half days until we reached the information centre at Rockhampton. From there we headed east to the coast. Me and Jonathan really wanted to go and see the Great Barrier Reef. So we drove to the shop and booked a full day cruise to Great Keppel island.
