267 Lake Street Cairns, Queensland, Australia, 4870, 7-4031-1666
We landed in Cairns at around 5pm. I noticed from the air that there was a lot more forests and greenery in this part of Australia compared to our last stop. Cairns is surrounded by tropical forested hills on one side and the ocean on the other. Not too far out in this ocean around Cairns and for hundreds of miles either side in the worlds largest coral reef system, namely The Great Barrier Reef. The hotel we were staying in was the Cairns Queenslander Hotel, a three story hotel with a pool a...

... literally push me up against the wall before.
So the diving. I'm talking like 30 meter vis, super calm seas with very little current and like NO surge, and lots of coral and sea life. Seriously everything you could want. We dove two reefs, Norman and Saxon. At this one site in Norman called "Troppo" there's a big Maori Wrasse that lives there named Wally. Now Wally is not only really, really stupid, but also extremely friendly and curious. You could pet ...

... into the city centre wondering if I would be able to find a space to park but found plenty of spaces only a block back from the beach with free all day parking. I spent most of the day exploring the down town area. It is a very pretty city, developed as a port in 1876 serving the agricultural hinterland and the gold fields of the interior. It is situated on a narrow coastal strip backed by rain forest, most of the modern city has been built during the last 30 years, much of ...

The CREB Track, or by it's full name the Cairns Region Electricity Board track, links the town of Daintree with Cooktown. While there are 2 better known roads, the Cooktown Developement Road - which is fully sealed, and the Bloomfield track - a graded dirt road, The CREB track is truly an ...
... br> Our first night in Cairns a mad one. For six bucks we got a big rack of spare ribs, free drink, and the girls got as much champagne as we could drink in an hour, served by slimy hunks. We we were the first ones dancing up on the tables, and they soon became the dancefloor. We found a florescent highlighter and covered each other in aboriginal bodypaint under the UV. In the end we got ...
Cairns, Queensland, Australia nballingall... journey leading to another world I have never known. As if sitting in an IMAX theater, my mind tried to take in all that surrounded me. The coral surrounded me and welcomed me to it's world. As I opened the door to my new home, I was blown away by all the inhabitants. So many fish were swimming by, saying their sweet hellos. Each was clothed in the brightest of colors I had never seen before. Boldly they gripped my attention and wouldn't ...
Cairns, Australia charliekelli... only a coule of hours! Cairns is nice, fairly small (130,000 people) but very much geared towards tourism. I went diving and explored he rainforests, as well as going to a place with a fine name, Cape Tribulation!! Its all very beautiful if a little hot and damp. got a Greyhound bus ticket that I can use all the way to Melbourne, only $400 (190quid ish) over the next 6 months ...
Cairns, Queensland, Australia albwhitehead... is relatively easy then we go to the Internet to apply for our tax file numbers, which Jaff had warned Tommy that they could take a long time to process. Then we decide to go look at the price of bicycles but they are all really expensive, so we decide to see if our camper has a hitch which would be necessary to carry the bikes, with the heat getting to us we sought comfort in the shopping centre again. That evening we checked into the Global Palace guesthouse ...
Cairns, Queensland, Australia tommy-elaine... and we were due to take the final exam mid-September. unfortunately we both had colds that weekend, which is especially annoying as we are not prone to being ill (I've had one cold in the last five years and I wasn't best pleased about the one I did have). Well, we rescheduled for a couple of weeks later and I well remember that our final qualification dive was on 3rd October, our wedding anniversary. How we loved giant-striding into the cloudy and ...
