Cairns – a weird tropical paradise. School streets rather than hotels (which I expected in such a beautiful, nature driven area) and local people hanging out in the air conditioned shopping mall. A city centre with bats not birds. A port with a "pool” off the main shopping street from where you can go to the next paradise island: Fitzroy. Coral beaches, blue water, mountains. Don´t go in the water without a stingray suit though 🐡. On the way there our boat got into a massive thunderstorm 🤢.
The Kuranda Train and Sky Trail is definitely a must do.
