Alright, maybe I was a little premature in saying that the holiday season was over, because Grant and I got a sort of bonus trip to Cairns last week. Cairns seems to be a sort of jumping off point to explore all that Far Northern Queensland has to offer. The city has a nice esplanade, but there's really not a whole lot to do. Just make sure you heed the crocodile warnings and stay out of the water! There are plenty of places to see in the surrounding country if you're willing to drive an hour or two to get there. (Or take a boat to get to the Great Barrier Reef.) I got to see Cairns, Port Douglas, Kuranda, and Mossman Gorge.
