Our arrival in Yungaburra was not the normal one. As we were shown around the hostel we were told that there was no need for any locks on any of the rooms doors because "This is Yungaburra!". The idea of leaving our passports, gadgets and money in an unlocked room with the only explanation being because this town was this town made me a little nervous until the next bit of the day when I realised I had no need to worry.
A short walk down the road is a local jewellers, his shop packed with diamonds, opals, gold, silver and all other sorts of very valuable things. When Nads and I were looking around the owner just came over, opened up a cabinet and told us that we could do that to any of the cabinets. "I don't lock anything here, it's Yungaburra!". Amazing and lovely in equal measure.
