After touching down at about 1am on Thursday morning Apple wasted no time in getting his time in Australia rolling and by 8am was on a boat headed to the Great Barrier Reef. Cairns is the best place in Australia to visit the reef and he took full advantage of the opportunity to experience it first hand as he tried scuba diving for the first time to get as close as possible to this great natural wonder.

During the trip across from the USA he also made sure that he continued his preparation by making time in the schedule to have full workouts in both LA and Guam (Who maybe the most polite, hospitable, friendly and helpful people in the world by the way)

Paradise Fitness on Guam provided an exceptional facility for a workout during the layover

Apple will spend Friday training with the North Queensland Cowboys during the preparations for a pre-season game in Cairns against the New Zealand Warriors on Saturday. He will also have a chance to join them during the weights session for the injured players later in the day.
