Cairns QLD (June - 9 days)

We spent 9 days in Cairns to catch our breath before heading west. We stayed about 15 minutes out of the city at the foot of the rainforest and misty mountains that sit behind Cairns. The outlook was beautiful and the walks we did at nearby Crystal Cascades were just spectacular. We enjoyed swimming in one of several waterholes at the cascades and Georgie was delighted with her nudie dip! We had a great day going to and from Kuranda (very touristy) on the Skyrail. Viewing the forest canopy, river, falls etc. from the heights of our suspended cable car was the highlight of the day. We enjoyed some beautiful boardwalks, looking at the Barron Falls etc. We were very excited to revisit Trinity Beach some 11 years on (almost to the day), where we spent most of our honeymoon! It certainly brought back some special memories for the two of us.
