If you ever have looked at a satellite view of Australia, you’ve probably noticed that there is very little green that shows up throughout the country, and lots of reds and browns. We opted for the green sliver in the northeast corner for our first trip to Australia. Turns out that Australia and New Zealand are pretty far apart. Our flight into Cairns was a five hours and there was a three hour time difference. Queensland is known for the Great Barrier Reef as well as remote rainforests. Cairns is the commercial hub and isn’t much more than a conglomeration of hotels and resorts among touristy shops placed on a bay with an attractive looking boardwalk.
We couldn’t have asked for better weather. Sun was out each day and the high temperatures were in the mid 80’s without much humidity. We went during the right part of the year, as during their summer it gets very humid with huge rainfall totals. We had four days to explore the area with some fantastic experiences to share. I will break the trip into a few different posts over the next couple of days.
