Cairns


After Sydney, we flew up to Queensland and stayed in Cairns (pronounced Cans). This is a unique place for two reasons. First Cairns does not have a usable beach. Therefore, what you see is their "lagoon" built along side the beach. Second, and more importantly, this is the only place in the world where two World Heritage-listed sites are next to each other. The Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropic Rainforest. We were fortunate to explore both sites.
