February 22, 1998 Bungy Jumping



On the way to Cairns, Our bus driver got pulled over for speeding, but he wormed his way out of it and only got a warning.


We stopped at another farm on the way, this one was a crocodile farm. Lots of ugly crocs. Notice the drizzle of blood running out of his mouth - Cool!


This gator was so huge and old, that crazy man felt safe enough to sit on top of it! He survived.


We got to hold a baby crocodile.


Then came feeding time!


These guys are just lumps until it's feeding time.


Back on the road to our next stop, Bungy Jump! But first how about some tranquil scenery shots from the bus before the adrenaline starts pumping.


OK, were at the A.J. Hackett bungy site which is set into the mountains and trees.


We all hang out for a while watching other people jump and other people chicken out once they get onto the platform.


If we can get at least 5 people together that will jump, they give about a 20% discount. We only have 4, of course Sid and I are in, and one of the guys says he'll pay for the girl to jump only if she jumps naked! She reluctantly agrees after a lot of indecision. So we all take our turns (First time for me, great fun!) and we all gather at the bottom to watch the naked bungy jumper! Everybody gets out their cameras and camcorders. We were sure she would chicken out, but she did it.


She screamed a lot and was trying to cover herself up while she kept bouncing around, the people lowering her "accidentally" let the line slip when they were lowering her into the boat and she splashed into the water. She had a great time and was eventually happy and safe on the boat.


We eventually made it into Cairns and booked our rooms, grabbed something to eat and went to Beaches bar. They were having a Foam Party.


There is a device in the ceiling that pours foam into a pit, it gets about waist high after it's running a while and people are slipping and sliding!
