Cairns

Okay, there is a common perception that if you are going to Cairns you are most likely going to visit either the Great Barrier Reef or the Wet Tropics World Heritage Forest. While it is essential that you should go to these places, it is essential that you do not miss out on other things as well that Cairns has to offer.

There are a lot of cafés in Cairns which are dotted along Grafton and Spence streets. You should begin your day with breakfast at Caffiend, a café in the laneway. They serve amazing chilli eggs and French toast which you can enjoy with cold drip coffee and coconut lattes.

You can take a long walk along the beach front and experience the city drenched in sun and carefree closely. The key link is Campbell Parade. It has stylish surf wear shops, souvenirs, outdoor cafes, bars and fish ‘n’ chip shops.

And have you heard about the Wander Hall Street? No? What about Curlewis Street? These two places are amazing when you want to go hunting for designer stores, fashion and art galleries.

Oh, I know exactly what you need. You need to explore the beautiful beaches like Tamarama, Bronte, Coogee, etc. via a boardwalk. Take a 30-minute bus from Sydney city centre and you are here.

Cape Tribulation

Cape Tribulation is renowned for its scenic landscape, remote beaches and the world heritage rainforest of Daintree National Park. The Cape Tribulation Beach is on the northern side of Cape Tribulation headland. This beach is the most sheltered location when the south-east trade winds are blowing.

Cape Tribulation is situated at the end of the sealed road which is 35 kilometres north of the Daintree River Ferry.

You can explore the rainforest by self-guided trails, guided walks, horse rides and even a flying fox. No, you do not sit on a fix and it starts flying. You can also paddle the coastline in a sea kayak and see where the rainforest meets the reef.
